AI can write articles, but it can't build the audience or trust that makes journalism work. A journalist argues for investing in community, trusted editors, and distribution networks instead of just churning out content.
The person using the AI matters right now. If we're talking journalists, not just in knowing kind of how to ask it questions and what facts to give it, but also in how you distribute it, right? You know, there's a different level to that. Like, I can be a publication and I can use AI and I can write this article, but if I don't have any network, then what good was any of that? So you're kind of investing in that community. But I just think that there's, there's something to be said now in the future of making sure that you're not doing what the industry long did in journalism, which is just taking facts and telling you what happened. We're going to sell audience access and peer-to-peer development. So those are the 3 things. And then distribution through an editor, you know, who has gained the trust in community is how I think you kind of get around some of these things.
