I commented today on how creating this newsletter is getting harder because of the proliferation of AI-generated content (you're just fooling yourself if you don't think it's already widely used). This article reports on some focus groups' responses to AI-generated news. "News consumers are clear they want disclosure from journalists about how they are using AI — but there is less consensus on what that disclosure should be." If it's AI-written, sure, I'd like to know (a label would be useful). But if AI was used in the research? When I was using Feedly's AI to filter RSS feeds (I have since stopped, because the selection was getting bland) should I have labeled every post? I don't mind the AI if it's producing content worth reading. But most of the content seems intended only for other AIs to read.
