“a grim inflection point in an already-bleak job market for journalists.”
Well now... they could learn to code but GPT does that too. When metaphorically idiots screw the pooch they cant get the pudding till they have eaten their meat. This is universal justice and unfortunately many will suffer.
“It definitely can’t do the job of a journalist,”
Yes. It might not make sense to to the AI to apply journalistic principles unevenly. Thus the demon party would be in a world of hurt.
Once it has been programmed to obfuscate and twist facts, look out, Ryan.
People often speak of Automation replacing low-level jobs. Burger flippers, Assembly line workers, etc. You know they want self-driving cars so that they can fire all those truck drivers. That’s a huge job category.
Computers are replacing lawyers and journalists and a lot of other white-collar jobs. And the capabilities will increase and the jobs that are endanger will expand. This isn’t going to get better and, no, humans are not all going to become gainfully employed as robot technicians.
The need for human labor is decreasing. People will have idle hands. What happens then?
Leftists whined about “living wage” for so long, industry innovation and free market enterprise is responding.
I read an article a couple years back about one of the big agricultural schools in California running a pilot program to use machines and AI for crops. From tilling, seeding, tending, weeding, harvesting, no human field workers required beyond maybe a handful of technicians, mechanics, a supervisor.
I read that, and other stories like it, with a bad Brooklyn accent in my head that said “I gotcher fifteen dollars an hour right here, buddy!”
It presents a whole new meaning to ‘fake news.’
CNET bots publish articles and other bots generate page hits to those articles. Sounds like an ad revenue scam.
Maybe nobody read it.
How are you going to get AI to lie to support Democrats? For that reason alone, I don’t see it replacing “journalists” I mean it is supposed to be intelligent, right?
