Corporate greed has hollowed the entire publishing business, not only for the press, but the book, music, film, and theater industries. Writers have been discarded as unnecessary dating to the writer’s strikes of the 1970s.
No it can’t. Journalism is (or it used to be) about sharing experiences. It’s about writing. It takes perspective, imagination, insight, morality, interest, and the need to ask questions, not just have questions asked of it. Show me the math to create those things in a machine.
No. Nope. No no no. Anything artificial is antithetical to art and art forms. Use AI for machining 1 million screws that are identical, not for writing.
