"curated" and "algorithm" are opposites.
In any case, the algorithms don't magically write news stories (though maybe they will now with ChatGPT or whatever). The stories are pulled from the very same newspapers that are being criticized here.
- shadowgovt 3y ago> "curated" and "algorithm" are opposites. Not at all. An algorithm is curation at scale. Algorithms are made by humans and encode the biases humans want to apply without having to push the buttons themselves to properly bin new input every time it comes in.
- sleepybrett 3y agoThe problem being that algorithms have a strict set of rules, human curators are generally looser and introduce a certain amount of entropy into a 'feed'. Entropy can be a 'delighter'.
