Traditional media coverage of this stuff is cringey. It’s always bound up in some “vs” narrative. And the worry over systemic bias is kind of ironic because the tech companies they demonize are aware of it and trying to combat it, but the media outlets themselves have bad biases and they don’t really make much effort to combat their own writers selective portrayal of data (Vice’s coverage of the Depp-Heard hearings as insanely biased) I understand given the scale why we should be more worried about an AI model writing stories or sorting and ranking queries, but I am also concerned about the weird way political biases drive journalists on each side to selectively ignore evidence that contradicts their narrative, and this too tends to create an atmosphere that makes it difficult for people to debate nuanced issues, because no one wants to admit data which complicates simplistic narratives.
