@JulianOliver Sad it has reached this state, I always thought BuzzFeed was a cool cultural product of its time and lived through its heyday, even if it wasn't necessarily for me. It made a few good, or at least interesting pivots.

Part of the problem might be in thinking that people will want AI-generated when it's built a brand and reputation on being human-made. "AI-native" brands and content are now (sadly) abundant in ways that shock me. And another part of it might just be beating a dead horse when people get less and less of their news and information from media companies. Exit on a high, with dignity towards staff, rather than...this.
