Seems inevitable ๐ฎโ๐จ
In the context of my original comment, social media companies like Meta and Reddit have fought tooth and nail to not be considered news networks or news outlets specifically because they don't want to be beholden to the laws that regulate news outlets/networks. Jeopardizing their ineligibility to be sued for what users post (in the US) by going all in on AI LLM's scrapers when those scrapers rely pretty heavily on news networks and other media to stay useful means they'll starve themselves of AI scraped content, and that they'll potentially forfeit what protections against lawsuits they have. It's a no win situation for them to continue to bet on AI which has already largely reached the limit of what it's capable of in current iterations because of the lack of clean organic training data.
I do respect your optimism, but realistically, I doubt they're forfeiting anything. Fox News broadcasts blatant lies daily. All they had to do was a behind the scenes rebranding.
Fox news isn't legally considered a news outlet. In fact we have literally seen them admit to not being one in court proceedings.
Yes, correct, that is what I just said.
