AP Senior Product Manager for AI Aimee Rinehart wrote in internal company Slack messages referring to the Plain Dealer’s parent company. “Resistance is futile.”
One AP reporter fumed that the “dismissiveness and disdain some of you have shown for human writing are insulting and abhorrent,” per Semafor. “Strong reporting and clear writing are the lifeblood of journalism, not AI-written slop.”

White collar jobs are gonna be exhausting for the next few years as rich people with zero consequences get this garbage out of their system.
every time someone tries to put the economy on lock they end pushing the formation of an alternative system outside of their control.
Having the same thought.
If capitalism eats its own children it might force the world to use FOSS and non-proprietary company structures.
whotookkarlAn economy built entirely on buying really expensive hammers says hammers are inevitable and going to be necessary for everything they’re terrible for from wiping your b hole to making important decisions. It’s anti economian to not want to use hammers every waking minute of your life. Oh god why aren’t more people buying these hammers.
magnetosphereThe paper’s editor had lamented how an intern pulled out of a reporting fellowship after discovering that the position required feeding notes into an AI writing tool instead of writing stories.
Power move. I wish that intern a long and successful career.
It’s telling that LLM thumpers think it’s appropriate to treat skeptics of their slop like a rape victim.

Newsrooms are strapped because media economy is nonfunctional and is not even designed to be self-sustainable in current economy and it is deeply future-vulnerable. And that’s media managers like Rinehart fault.
Perhaps they should’ve ran this article through an LLM aswell to at least try and hide the glaringly obvious bias.
Just give me the facts and let me make up my own mind about how I feel of something.
LLMs don’t create objectivity, so if you’re looking for “facts,” you’ll have to actually engage your brain.

tb_That name is what initially put me off, but they actually seem to have some decent takes.
It is one of the better tech news sites out there. Their newsletter is very good and got these silly headlines that never fail to crack me up.

Manager at AP let’s everyone know how little she actually thinks of the Associated Press.
Person who depends on AI for job safety tells others they must ALSO depend on AI for job safety.
Imagine saying that in a Slack channel filled with journalists and thinking it wouldn’t be leaked.
Wow jumping right to the Borg.
That’s been the model for generative AI so far, so I guess they’re sticking with the plan.
Manager associated press should talk to manager Ars Technica who just had to fire someone because AI made up a bunch of “facts” and “quotes”.
So put your money where your mouth is and hire that guy Ars Technica just fired for using AI to write a story. Benji something.
Ah so the the product manager FOR AI says that you need it.
Manager of the fuck you in the ass machine says you need to keep being fucked in the ass by the fuck you in the ass machine.
