Almost entirely self-inflicted by greedy media corporations and "journalists" with no sense of ethics.
Somehow we put these journalists on an unassailable pedestal with zero accountability, while we enforce professional ethics in nearly every other profession on the planet.
There are very few journalists left actually providing a positive benefit to society. I cannot wait for GPT-4+ to put the rest out of job. Given the same source data, it writes better articles, with less bias, more closely sticking to the facts.
