Primary sources (like on the ground war reporting) are not replaceable by LLMs.
- coldtea 4y agoIf LLMs reduce the "middle class able to support news websites via its ad spending" enough, sending these people in despair and/or lower paying jobs, they willl indirectly remove the support for such reporting anyway.
- yamtaddle 4y agoLocal reporting is the most important, as far as what people reading/seeing/hearing it can meaningfully act on, and it's already all but dead thanks to the Internet and smartphones making competition for attention a global enterprise 24/7/365 no matter where a person is.

- yreg 4y agoThe honest AI-only papers will admit they are not the primary source on the ground. As for the dishonest ones, it's not a new problem (only the scale will be new), since fake news are widespread already. The society combats it by a reputation system. I take a BBC war correspondent seriously, but a random military-blogger I never heard of I take less seriously.
