I use the bullshit fluff machine to add extra bullshit fluff to my real work, this is good because reasons

It codes as well as I can if I spend as long as the coding would take refining its output

I think much the same can be said for attorneys relying on AI to write their briefs. You are supposed to be a zealous advocate for your client, not someone relying on boilerplate prose and fake citations to persuade a judge.

I assume they take notes during reporting, collect quotes, and then feed the notes and quotes into the LLM, letting the LLM turn incomplete sentences into semi-coherent paragraphs.

And at that point, how much time are you actually saving by using the LLM?

Or just feed the EPK right into it and hit a button

Listening to Annalena Baerbock in conversation with Fareed Zakaria, you hear not just a German politician outlining policy, but a systems thinker grappling with the wiring of what I’ve long called the global village.

It's not even about reading these days. Sure, they'll measure engagement, which at this point is mostly other LLMs crawling the content. Like some sort of LLM Centipede.

I agree... for "me" to us AI or that "Flapchat" thing isn't really using my personal talents. And I don't trust that there isn't a way that someone can hack the apps and steal your work before you have a chance to copyright it...

I'm not a professional writer but I do write, from time to time. If I put my name on something, I want it to be *mine*.

If he’d had a beer in his hand for the photo, I’d have understood. If it’s not a scam, he just looks dumb.

Absolutely. Taking what you’ve discovered and communicating it effectively and efficiently is the core of journalism.

Well, he did write this recently. Though perhaps you're looking for more in a similar vein? www.wheresyoured.at/the-beginnin...
