Whether people know it or not, AI has been an integral and growing part of our lives for years, and its prevalence is growing exponentially.
I enjoy reading the comments that lefties make claiming that AI like Grok is less trustworthy than their beloved "trusted" media.
"AI plays a growing role in journalism. Many news organizations use AI tools to assist with tasks like generating short, data-driven stories—think weather updates, financial summaries, or sports recaps—where the information is straightforward and formulaic.
For example, companies like the Associated Press have been using AI systems, such as those from Automated Insights, to churn out earnings reports or game summaries for years. These are typically narrow in scope and rely on structured data.
However, when it comes to opinion articles, humans are still very much in the driver’s seat. AI might help with drafting, fact-checking, or summarizing, but the final product usually involves a human touch.
Studies and industry chatter suggest that news content from major outlets might involve AI assistance, though exact numbers are hard to pin down since it varies by outlet and isn’t always disclosed.
The trend’s definitely picking up, though. Tools like GPT-based systems or custom-built AI are getting better at mimicking human writing, and cost pressures in media mean automation’s appealing.
Smaller outlets or content mills might lean harder into AI to pump out clickbait or filler. Savvy readers can often spot the difference—AI stuff tends to feel a bit stiff or overly polished, lacking the quirks of a human voice. What do you think—noticed any robotic vibes in this?"
