If you're a #journalist and you're afraid AI is going to replace you, just ... stop it.
Unless your idea of journalism is spinning out plausible bullshit. AI is good at that.
But it is no reporter. The heart of journalism is inquiry. That requires curiosity and understanding, capacities that are missing from the cute "artificial intelligence" applications.
There may be many roles to play for AI-based tools in the reporting process. AI may help you with crunching data. It may find anomalies and patterns for you. It may help you write paragraphs that make sense and don't have egregious errors of spelling and grammar.
But the "intelligence" of computer models is no replacement for an inquiring and skeptical mind.
We need more reporters.
