If Google was doing what news sites did, it would have journalists writing articles, researching data, investigating, etc. Yet they do none of that.
Your statement is absurd.
- makeitdouble 3y agoI kinda wonder at what point would Google enter the field by sucking AFP's feed, auto filtering it and AI generate articles. Yahoo News wasn't that, but a search engine getting into the news business would not be unprecedented.
- afavour 3y agoAll of this still requires actual journalism to happen at some point, though. Someone needs to conduct interviews. AI isn’t going to do that any time soon.
- makeitdouble 3y agoYes, that work would still happen under AFP or any other aggregator that deals with sourcing the news, syndicate it and manage the revenue sharing.
- b112 3y agoThere is and was so much news outside of AFP and aggregators. Local news is a biggie, and it's hurt just as bad. Frankly, local news touches our lives far more that national news, more, and yet it is vanishing.
