An Italian newspaper said it has created the world's first question generated entirely using AI, and journalists are limited to asking questions from chatbots and reading the answers before inserting them. guardian Earlier, the Italian liberal conservative paper Il Foglio mentioned the initiative.
Claudio Cerasa, editor of IL Foglio, said the experiment was a test of how AI works “in practice” in the newsroom and forced journalists to ask tough questions about the impact of the technology on the industry.
“This will be the first daily newspaper in the world to be created entirely with artificial intelligence,” Cerasa said. “For writing, titles, quotes, abstracts, and sometimes even ironic.”
The four-page “Il Fogolio AI” plugs into a larger Tuesday version and can also be viewed online.
Early experiments using generative AI in the newsroom were not particularly good. Back to 2023, CNET After facing criticism, it quietly began using AI-generated financial advice stories that included important inaccuracies. recent, Los Angeles Times An AI-powered tool called “Insights” was released, which could have evaluated the bias of opinion articles that were automatically generated against opposition points; it quickly pulled out the tool after it was found that the tool was found to downplay KKK.
Generated AI is good at producing authenticity in real writing, which looks clear and authoritative. Have tried to improve the “thinking” process of chatbots, but ultimately it is Honor's automatic complete system and faces the thorny problem of simply making things. Chatbots that respond when introducing their logic sometimes even admit it. Ultimately, the problem with all language models is that the user must carefully look at all generated text and correct errors even if they discover them completely. Newsrooms in particular must be careful not to further damage the public's credibility through the publication slope.
Nonetheless, news organizations continue to try the technology, despite significant concerns about whether journalists will try to use AI to cut staffing in the newsroom. Patch is a super-terrestrial news website formerly owned by AOL, now relies entirely on AI to crawl the network to find many of its local versions of news.
The quote unquote “real” news should be less affected because the generated AI is simply creating new text with material you have seen before. Original Reports – Find the original story, interview the individual – request to generate brand new information that has not yet been on the Internet. But the entire public hasn’t brought much value to the media in the digital age, not just journalism, and they aren’t willing to pay too much for music or video. In most organizations, the workforce is the highest cost center and it is not difficult to see more news organizations using AI when possible.
One day, we will cite information from other AI news articles until people can’t even figure out the original resources. Or a story generated entirely by Reddit comments.
