G/O Media, a major online media company that runs publications including Gizmodo, Kotaku, Quartz, Jezebel, and Deadspin, has announced that it will begin a “modest test” of AI content on its sites.

The trial will include “producing just a handful of stories for most of our sites that are basically built around lists and data,” Brown wrote. “These features aren’t replacing work currently being done by writers and editors, and we hope that over time if we get these forms of content right and produced at scale, AI will, via search and promotion, help us grow our audience.”

    Maybe it’ll reveal that many websites doesn’t want to give interesting news to its audience but only want them to watch ads to have more money.

      Which is why I’ll never stop blocking ads. It’s as much a fuck-you to these capitalist vultures as it is for my own convenience.
