The regional papers he owns are already full of AI generated content
from somewhere according to recent stories. There's one Data Journalist.
Yeah, right.
So who's going to write anything to feed the beast? Or will they just be
stripping and better rewriting stuff they were just copying because AI
can write grammatically and actually spell? cf Media Watch.
Without Harvey Norman ads, the HSun is just 2 sheets of toilet paper. Oh
wait. Sports. There's always sports and a crossword puzzle. Forgive me.

That's like saving money on wool by using rayon. Or like saving money
on porcelain by using pottery.
“We are already in active negotiations to establish a value for our
unique content sets and (intellectual property) that will play a

Oh, so they won't be wanting anyone just using their content to feed
the AI beast without their permission? I wonder if they intend to
extend the same courtesy to anyone else's content?
The company’s Australian arm recently disclosed it was producing
3,000 articles a week using generative AI.
... and nobody could really tell the difference. I wonder how many of
those indicated in the byline that they were partly or wholly
generated?
