   Popular newspapers now use LLM to write many articles and use AI-created images. They have the audacity to ask for a monthly subscription from visitors. Why don’t you ask AI to subscribe or ask Sama, the billionaire, to pay for it? I am not paying for stolen content from all over the web, and your boss is firing newspaper staff to replace it with LLM. Keep your news to yourself. Why do you need another human and their money to pay for it? These people are so delusional

     News media use of AI tools for creating their content is THEFT.

     @nixCraft The delusional are going to be running the country, and if Musk has his way running the world, not Putin you on.

     @nixCraft Names and evidence, not weasel words. That's the difference between otherwise well phrased frustration and clickbait.

     @nixCraft 1. Depends how they use AI? To create content stolen from others or to e.g. proof read the articles? Using AI to write a weather report based on the very structured data? Or a sports event with the input from Reuters? These things can be automated easily and are already done.
     2. There are or were 49 online magazines AI only. No email address, no official owner. All done by AI
     3. You dont pay, they have to lay off and need more AI. Vicious circle.
     4. AI learns from WWW. Self-excitation

     @nixCraft ok but which newspapers? This is a very broad and vague statement otherwise 🤨

     @nixCraft The voracious appetite of LLMs, and lack of respecting scrapping allow/disallow configurations, be a leading reason why I added certain comments to `robots.txt` files for the sites I maintain.

     ... I figure if big companies believe in the, "you're opted in unless you opted out", model then it's okay to opt them in to various agreements 😈

     @nixCraft AI Ruined the internet and actual journalism.
