Another so-called 'cost-cutting' job. 🤨

@Kev @leo @jeffjarvis It’s a bogus argument on their part, however….

There’s been a consistent lack of editorializing when it comes to websites and magazines. Up to literally the most basic things like proofreading and spellchecking, at the very least, with A.I. “something” will be doing something editorially. I often see no story editing or even an over arching series of stories/articles with a cohesive voice. Maybe they can get a Chatbot to do the basics.

Of course it's bogus. AI 'journalism' minus the 'Human' is not journalism, it'll just be the next phase of automated content farming. Endless words without thought, heart or passion.

Thankfully, I hope it gets exposed for what it is... There are still people & organisations that 'value' good writing. Sadly just not in the US/UK.

Not pittance payment either; experience still has value, & that cannot be lost, to Shareholders.
