| The writers at Buzzfeed using AI to help write articles , maybe
| we can consider them savvy entrepreneurs, and this is not an
| attempt to sugarcoat their actions. This situation exemplifies
| the concept of Table As Set, which means that if you offer a
| money-making opportunity to the public, you should expect people
| to take advantage of it. If you don't want computer-generated
| stories, then stop paying for them and explore alternative
| business models. As technology advances, it will become
| increasingly difficult to distinguish between human and AI-
| generated content. Furthermore, these individuals are not guilty
| of plagiarism because they are using AI as ghostwriters, just
| like traditional publishers have used ghostwriters for years.
| This is no different from the case of deceased authors like Tom
| Clancy and V.C. Andrews, who now have ghostwriters continuing
| their literary legacies. Ultimately, the question is not whether
| the stories are human-written, but rather whether they are
| entertaining. This issue will resolve itself, and businesses will
| either accept the current reality or face failure. Just my 2
| cents :)

| At this point, we can:

| - Get an AI to generate a news article in any narrative style we
| want. - Get an AI to convert that text to speech in any style we
| want. - Get an AI to produce video with any talking head we want
| saying that speech.
|
| All the highly paid writers and anchors at Fox News, CNN, CBC,
| MSNBC should be worried. The nerds are coming!
