This Morning fans blasted a ‘creepy’ new presenter after their disastrous debut on Tuesday – but can you spot why?

ITV hosts Cat Deeley, 48, and Ben Shephard, 50, sat down with Jake Moore, a cyber-security expert on the latest instalment of the daytime show.

At one point, the trio were joined by a new face, Julia, who wasn’t like any usual TV presenter. 

Julia was an AI presenter, created by Jake using ‘straightforward and simple’ software, Ben explained.

Before she was due to appear on the show, Julia crashed and had to be rebooted.

When she did join for an interview, Cat asked the bot: ‘What is AI?’

She described how it ‘encompᴀsses various technology’ and is a ‘fascinating field with endless possibilities’. 

Cat then asked: ‘Julia, we haven’t told you what to say, have we?’

The AI replied: ‘No you haven’t, I’m here to provide information and ᴀssistance bases on your queries.’

The conversation continued and Julia explained why AI exists, amongst other things.

However, the bot didn’t make it to the end of the segment and crashed again.

‘Unfortunately Julia glitched again, I think she got tired,’ Ben quipped. 

Some viewers were wary of the AI presenter and even called her ‘creepy’ on social media.
