Can someone be sacked for these stupid fear mongering presentations of what should be fairly banal topics? If there was actual reason to worry, we would point out the constant remarkable disasters which should discourage you.

    I wish. I'm so entirely sick of sensationalism and shitty science writing.

    It's only going to get worse with AI writing the stories.

    That all depends on how it is trained and/or regulated. You could train a model to avoid sensationalism, but with no motive other than profit, it will definitely get much much worse.

    There is a news site that does use AI to write articles without sensationalism. I can't rember the name of it off the top of my head. I looked at it once and was surprised at how uninterested I was in any of the stories. I doubt it gets much traffic over the initial curiosity look. I'm sure everyone will just use it to make the news even more sensationalized.

    That’s why the regulation part is important.

    I'm not sure how regulation can be effective for AI. No politician understands AI. Also, by the time anything gets passed, AI will have advanced so far that any regulations that are passed will be pointless. Eventually everyone will have AI locally in their pocket. Then there's really no way to regulate it. It's a genie that you can't put back in the bottle.

    Not actually sure this is banal? The story is a staffing shortage of air traffic controllers and several near misses due to them being exhausted. Just because there hasn't been a problem yet doesn't mean there isn't a problem at all.
