Journalists’ copy simply doesn’t matter anymore because we broke them.

Their “honest and upstanding” disguise was shredded. Their bias was as great as their rejection of being biased.

Today, we have millions of “citizen journalists” who report, can be fact-checked, corrected/flamed if wrong, all in real-time. They don’t hold a monopoly.

So the writer AND ChatGPT are wrong.

AI doesnt make the same mistakes. Also AI can’t replicate the liberal bias and liberal superiority complexes very well.

Lol, I had to laugh… How would anybody know the difference?

Oh, wait… I know… The AI generated news feed would likely be more accurate!

But if AI can make up legal cases for lawyers, why can’t AI make up stories for journalism?

True.
But the millions of people are also posting a lot of garbage.
GOOD journalists are very valuable.

Why?

Because leftist talking points masquerading as journalism isn't even artificial intelligence?

AI can do just as good of a job making up crud as journalists.

I would say that “Grok 4” is probably a more qualified/accurate journalist than half the recent journalism grads out there!

And a journalist would never lie about such things. Honest!
