"While early “AI” systems have plenty of creativity and productivity potential,
early implementations into the already very broken US journalism and media
markets have proven to be an ugly mess. In part because the tech isn’t really
fully cooked yet. But also because the kind of folks that get to run major
modern US media companies are incompetent cheapskates.
Media giants like G/O Media and Red Ventures keep implementing such systems at
outlets like
CNET and
Gizmodo (without being transparent with staff about
it) and the result has consistently been a lot of error and plagiarism filled
articles that lower brand quality under the pretense of progress.
Of the 77 articles published at
CNET, more than half had significant errors.
Gizmodo’s recent AI-Generated articles have also been terribly written and
filled with mistakes. In many instances, it’s costing outlets more money to
have a human-editor go in and fix errors than it would to just have a human
generate the content in the first place."
