“It’s fun—a macabre sort of fun—this parlor game of ‘Who Goes AI?’ And it simplifies things—asking the question in regard to specific journalists.
Kind, good, happy, secure people never go AI. They may be the hard-working columnist, the former blogger, the independent media entrepreneur, or the virtuosic book critic—you’ll never make sloppers out of them. But the bored pseudo-intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the fearful ink cannon, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go AI in a crisis.”
