News Corp using AI to produce 3,000 Australian local news stories a week

Okay.. are we good with this? Are we comfortable with this?

Are we fine and dandy with AI technology reporting on local news sports and weather ?

This is not testing ground anymore it’s happening. We are about to be on a collision with destiny .. what will the ole yellow gum shoes think? The beat reporters that found truth?

But who killed journalism? AI technology? Or maybe lousy journalism killed journalism.

Poor reporting. Poor quality. 7th grade writing that is no better now than kindergarten.

If reporters are mad at AI, they need to find a mirror and take a good look..

News Corp Australia is producing 3,000 articles a week using generative artificial intelligence, executive chair Michael Miller has revealed.

Miller told the World News Media Congress in Taipei that a team of four staff use the technology to generate thousands of local stories each week on weather, fuel prices and traffic conditions, according to a report in Mediaweek.

The unit, Data Local, is led by News Corp’s data journalism editor Peter Judd and many of the stories carry his byline.
