> Will AI replace the pundit anytime soon? Why not. You can go to any major news outlet, and expect a certain bias/comfort in their news, and a definite bias/comfort in their overall editorials or those of individual editorialists.

One reason some people stay logged out of Google is so their search results aren't colored by what Google thinks it knows about them. It's not that large a leap to systems reading all the opinion letters its owners receive, and maybe all the printed letters that other outlets receive, turn a knob or two and collect max-Laffer curve revenue, based on where it's set on the bias curve.
