    A lot were already automated prior to ChatGPT
    - palata 3y ago
      Sure, but I like to think that I could pretty quickly recognize them. Much harder with GPT.

  I see three relevant articles (the rest aren't relevant, e.g. talking about Steam summer sale), from sites that look more like content farms than legitimate news websites.. but yeah, there are too many content farms nowadays.

  > Neither Valve nor potterharry97 were immediately available to respond to a request for comment. I wanted to point out that journalists at least check their sources...

    "Immediately available" could mean "we sent out the email right before we pressed submit". That's better than nothing, but it's still not journalism.

  "Journalists" are like vultures now, they just run towards anything to publish as much as possible with absolutely zero regard for any journalistic ethic. Might as well just replace journalists by AI at this point, to a large group of people (me included) they've all made themselves more hated and untrustworthy than a company, economist, politician or civil servant.

    By and large, it's true. But Reuters still does some decent investigative journalism, imo.
