Good riddance. Journalists and the media have abandoned their roles as truthful arbiters forcing everyone into their biased corners (msnbc, Fox News, etc).

I want non sensationalized, truthful reporting and it’s clear only Ai can get me that. Human reporters are too emotional and it’s shown during the Trump era, and continued now.

Can you elaborate on how AI helps here?

Have you tried any leading LLM? Something better than GPT 3.5. Given the same source data AI will write with far less bias (and often more insight) than your average human journalist.

LLMs are not magic, they inherit whatever bias is in its training data.

Their training data is clearly better than whatever most journalists train on.

Isn’t this customer driven though? Biased sources telling some group what they want to hear get way more engagement than journalists trying to be objective.

Fox kind of proved this business model out and since then we now have others they cater to either further right or left wing audiences.

Of course now more independent and even less trustworthy sources are taking audiences by cranking this model up even more. Now it’s random rage bait trolls on social media providing “news” to hordes of infinite scroll addicts.

Who cares if something is customer driven? Ethics is still a thing. You can't just sell a ship where the front falls off because your customers want it.

Bad journalism clearly causes societal harm, and it's time we regulate it. Passing the buck to social media by saying "it's what people want" is simply a way for these people to rinse their hands of any accountability.
