One side effect of a real estate investor driven crash that the “experts” will “never see coming” is the risk inherent in the HOA (home owner association) structure of many of the Sun Belt developments.

If the investment firm percentage of the total HOA are large enough they can ruin the finances of a large number of HOAs dragging regular homeowners into their quagmire—causing the massive decline of entire neighborhoods when there is no money available for maintenance and repairs of common areas.

That can crush the value of all homes in the HOA over time.

This will be a new type of financial contagion that nobody is looking at right now.

At least AI will produce proper grammar and spelling.

It would be nice if AI could be objective, but that is dependent on the training, just like the flesh and blood journalists.

These types of software have been around for many years. You add in some key words like Planes, Trains or Automobiles and the software searches the internet and comes back with a generated story. It is then uploaded to a website that has ads on it.

This in turn generates clicks and the person makes a few dollars a day. The will have dozens or hundreds of sites that the article gets posted to.
The money now adds up to a big income.

You do a search for something and you find yourself at ad farms results or a website that does not really make sense for what you were looking for.
You notice as the phrasing and sentence structure is not correct.

The new software may be better and if so then many writers are out of a job. You can bet that the local newspapers which are pretty thin on stories these days will be using this as will tv news sites.

I think fox digital is still using humans because there are too many grammatical and spelling mistakes in the articles...unless AI is making mistakes on purpose to convince us it is really a human.

Gotta ask yourself how many people actually read seen it anyway? Is that kind of like “if a tree falls in the forest and there’s nobody around here it doesn’t really make a noise“?

Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V. That’s millenial “journolism.”
