I'm watching AI write more and more articles while newspapers keep losing money. The local newsrooms where I got my start, back in the day, are shutting down, and I see my colleagues cranking out quick stories just to pay the bills. What opportunities do you think will be out there for real journalism in the future?

Might be wishful thinking, but I do think we’ll see a full circle moment at some point. People won’t be able to read AI-generated nonsense and want the human element of news and articles.

I don't think the AI slop will be sustainable, it's cheap to produce but no one wants it. Given the dumbing down of society, the audience for quality writing will be small, but there is a chance it will grow. But I'll admit it's easy to be pessimistic about it all.

All newsrooms should ban AI, but with profit squeeze, it's use will grow.

Feels like we are heading towards a world where “real” journalism becomes niche—like vinyl records or artisan bread. Valuable but rare. I just hope we do not price it out of reach for everyday people.

Like others have said, I hope AI is a phase and they realise it loses credibility and engagement. I do think the zombie journalism churning out articles is not dying anytime soon.

Later today my grandpa tells me she's not been asking Alexa for her favorite music, but for her radio stations instead 😭😂

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin. I'm a reporter with more than 32 years of experience and I feel that, lately, local television news has been kind of dead, but I am pleased to fight for it from my local newspaper. Locals love to see someone from their own town succeeding or finding out something inspiring.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.
