The LA Times gives mealy-mouthed AI the last word on its opinion pieces
There's a lot to say about AI's integration into journalism—and if you're only asking me, almost all of it would be extremely negative. Well, an engaged reader wouldn't just take my word for it, instead seeking to read widely on the subject to better inform their own opinion. My one request, if I may be so bold, is that your wider reading doesn't begin and end with asking an AI chatbot how it 'feels' about the subject.
In recent weeks, the LA Times has begun book-ending its opinion pieces with AI-generated 'Insights' (via AP News).
