I agree with the title, but Semafor is not a real news source.

Their "reporters" are just checking what an AI spews out.
And there's a lot more shady stuff this could be heading.
They've said they want to eventually tailor articles presented, headlines, and even article content to users.
The potential propaganda impact of something like this can not be ignored. People bitch about social media algorithms changing people's opinions, but this is disguised as a real new organization and wants to change the information shown on its site on a user by user basis to more effectively get people to the result the owners of the website works.
Uber used to provide a cheap effective service, so did Walmart. Once they get market share, the shit show begins.
Senafor is still in the process of capturing market share, dont help them accomplish that step so they can move into the shady shit
Wow that's really fucking lazy of them. Not suprising though.
Nothing like keeping people in their echo chambers and safe spaces.
But overall, that's incredibly grimey of them.
My take is that if you can't beat AI, and you're not, you might as well embrace it. You are obviously not going vote it out of existence. What you are describing is something Google's Meteor platform does every single minute of every single day for Google News.
What a horrendous take. If Googles news is doing the same thing, why listen to either one?
Point I think is that if you don't know how AI is being utilized across platforms, it's a little silly to isolate on one instance. It's technology, and it will evolve and be used in different ways beyond your vision.
My take is if you can't defeat the fascists and you can't, you might as well embrace it.
Shut the fuck up!
Ai = Fascists
Bwhahahahaha
Soon.
