While “AI” (language learning models) certainly could help journalism, the fail upward brunchlords in charge of most modern media outlets instead see the technology as a way to cut corners, undermine labor, and badly automate low-quality, ultra-low effort, SEO-chasing clickbait.
Sigh…as a species, we are really not mature enough to be using “advanced” tech such as AI or LLMs. It’s no wonder we get crap like this instead of the use cases we see in shows like Star Trek: The Next Generation.
