My brother writes sports copy for a local news outlet.
I'll just paste the text he sent me when I asked basically the same question.
"I'll worry about this when AI can watch baseball and make sense of a manager getting ejected."
I think "news summaries" are going to get blown up by AI reading all of the other news articles that exist about something, but ... someone has to actually write the first draft. Back to sports: we're a long way from an AI watching a ballgame and understanding why, exactly, a manager had his pitcher hit the next batter, or why a certain homerun was so crucial.

- jasfi 4y agoTrue, AI can take any human communication and repurpose it, if it has access. People keep forgetting the shortcuts AI can take. ChatGPT takes shortcuts to another level. Bypass understanding the meaning and go straight to the output.
- ilaksh 4y agoYou could literally do this today if you have a good source for broadcast streams, connect it to Whisper or something to create a transcript, and use a version of say text-davinci-003 trained on such transcripts and/or subsequent news reports with a prompt asking for a short news article based on the broadcast and post game news conference transcripts.
