Sifting through information to find out what's true and what's not, before presenting it to the public, is a pretty crucial task and ability for an actual journalist though. It is probably one of the most important parts of their job to verify the correctness of their sources and what they write regardless of whether or not they use AI tools.
Then maybe they shouldn't be using these tools in the first place. Other Conde Nast employees have already been blowing the whistle about this, which is funny because they sued all the AI companies for stealing content.
Whether there is a news article about it or not, these shitty tools are being shoved down everyone's throats. From developers, to authors.
I absolutely agree, they should not write articles with LLMs. I'm just saying they're not absolved of basic journalistic responsibility because they're instructed to use LLM tools.
