I don’t see the change. Sure, there are spam websites with AI content that were not there before, but is this news business at all? All major publishers and newspapers don’t (seem to) use AI as far as I can tell.

Also I would argue this is no much of a change except maybe in simplicity to generate fluff. All of this existed already for 20 years now, and it’s a byproduct of the online advertisement business (that for sure was a major change in society!). AI pieces are just yet another way to generate content in the hope of getting views.
