“Because local newsrooms are so strapped, they are turning for assistance on the news making process in every direction,” Rinehart wrote in a company Slack message. “Advance Publications got there first, others will follow,” she added, referring to the Plain Dealer’s publisher. “Resistance is futile. " [...] Spinning a yarn, Rinehart also claimed that some editors told her that they would “prefer to have reporters report and have articles at least pre-written by AI.” [...] “There are many — and I mean MANY — editors who would prefer an AI-written article to a human-written one,” she wrote. “Reporting and writing are two different skill sets and rare — RARE — is the occasion when it’s wrapped into one person.”

I'll let the CEO quotes here because they're so asinine, on a technical level and human level. I have no idea how to comment these.

Newsrooms are strapped because media economy is nonfunctional and is not even designed to be self-sustainable in current economy and it is deeply future-vulnerable. And that's media managers like Rinehart fault.
