G/O Media, a major online media company that runs publications including Gizmodo, Kotaku, Quartz, Jezebel, and Deadspin, has announced that it will begin a “modest test” of AI content on its sites.
…
The trial will include “producing just a handful of stories for most of our sites that are basically built around lists and data,” Brown wrote. “These features aren’t replacing work currently being done by writers and editors, and we hope that over time if we get these forms of content right and produced at scale, AI will, via search and promotion, help us grow our audience.”
Unfortunately the primary job of the CEO these days is more or less investor relations and relationship management between the C-staff. Can’t automate that quite yet.
Can’t automate any of the other jobs they are trying AI on yet either, but it’s not stopping them.
