    Considering how many blogs are just AI generated garbage now, it doesn’t surprise me that the big players are looking to automate their articles.

    The issue is that AI can’t really create… it just remakes what it already knows and has seen before. No hot takes. No new ideas. Just whatever has been done before.

    Hopefully this isn’t the new way everything goes…

      Also, Chat GPT at least still writes at the level of a somewhat talented ninth grader. Its prose is stilted, and the way it structures essays and stories is super formulaic.

      It’s absolutely not at the level it can replace a talented human writer yet. (I have no doubt that day is coming, probably sooner than we think, but it’s not here yet.)

      So publishers making the switch will see the quality of their content drop, and with it the number of clicks / revenue they get. Enough to offset the salaries of all the writers they fired? Probably depends on the publication. For clickbait farms, probably not, but the higher quality the readers are used to the more the publishers stand to lose.

          54% (130 million) Americans read BELOW the equivalent of a 6th grade level.

          A lot of the reason for this is chronic underfunding of K-12 ESL programs in southern states and California.
