The fact that I can open up ChatGPT right now and say "Write a Kotaku article about why Tetris is racist" and get a 100% believable result out of it should be a sign that they've been replaceable for a while now.

Not much was lost. Both Gizmodo and Kotaku content have already been indistinguishable from poorly generated AI content for ages now.
Shilling corpo propaganda made most "journalism" feel like it was AI generated corporate PR
Ironically nothing seems to rile up some gamers more than when game journalists try to be more than a corporate PR relay. God forbid anyone talks about labor issues, social issues, or worse, actually publishes a critique of a popular triple-A game.

So weird and obsessive to not only care about who might disagree with your comment, but to then seek to notify them demanding an explanation. Like I have to justify why I disagree or dont find any particular comment useful?
I diagreed because I am a gamer and I DO care about labor conditions in the industry. While I don't work in it, I have many friends that do and they identify as gamers and do care. I dont like making gamers a monolith, nor do I agree with the assertion that the reason they were disliked was due to them cocering labor issues. Thats why I downvoted the comment. I dont expect you or the others to agree with me, obviously, but the idea that you'd try to get people to justify it is fucking weird.

Well on this forum the votes are public. Deal with it. And if you can't then stop downvoting.
Good thing I spent five years in college sharpening my writing skills, only to be obsoleted by an uppity toaster. That'll make paying my student loans so much easier.
Well at least you paid for boomers to have mcmansions and 401ks
Thank you for your service!
boomer thanking a younger person for anything
Found the fake boomer /hj
And the people who benefited from having their loans forgiven by the taxpayers just convinced the Supreme Court that your loans don't count and that you should be on the hook for them!
Somebody's going to need to tell the AIs what to write about and evaluate their output.
Everyone with enough money to make corporate decisions is always the worst person at making corporate decisions
I dislike Kotaku, but I still think that cheering this decision on is a bad thing, because if this works then more and more companies with better journalism will probably be replaced.
Streamlining garbage-in-garbage-out for the mainstream is apparently worth trillions.
Why would anyone bother visiting Kotaku if they could just ask an AI to make shit up directly? Management just not thinking beyond the immediate present.
Ever since I saw an AI play megaman I would rather have AI review videogames because they will eventually learn how to play competently.
