Is it just journalists or could it also be Hollywood script writers too?

"... are increasingly turning toward artificial intelligence for production, using a variety of new automated systems to pump out content with minimal need for direct human input."

Aha! That could explain the postings of a few Freepers I know (names withheld). :-)

There's one frequent poster here who is so repetitive, I could probably write one of his broken record responses in my sleep.

The “Learn to Code” meme becomes especially ironic?

If illegal aliens were taking journalists jobs they’d probably...do nothing, just slink away.

They'd simply be obeying the tenets of their left-liberal religion.

They believe that all first world people are unworthy oppressors of the world's unfortunates, and that they deserve to be replaced by them.

I had to look twice at that image to spot the connection to the topic at hand.

Excellent job at a fake thread hijack.
