I would imagine journalists will feel a lot better after reading this article (just as educators will feel better after reading similar articles in their field in the months to come). It says things like "AI in journalism is...  more similar to a spreadsheet than to any kind of robot." And "artificial intelligence is not nearly as intelligent as it would need to be to replace you." And "You may not need AI". But don't be lulled by this. These may be true today, but they won't be true for long. That's why you need to heed the second half of the ten points - things like "you need a space to experiment", "understand AI to report on it", and "we have a transformational opportunity."
