It depends. Purely factual things, like reporting on the markets and a majority of objective news could be AI-assisted. Opinion pieces and reporting on subjective material (or trying to shape narratives), that's a whole different game and a topic that society is not ready to even begin tackling yet.

There is no interaction to be had in the consumption of most material online, and any perceived interaction is surface-level as best.

Factual reporting always has background, though. The bottom 1/2 to 2/3 of the article will be descriptive context, like what $SUBJECT did in a previous similar situation. I don't think the current AIs are up to the task of figuring out which accessory bits of information are most pertinent, and in what order.
