The bot noted that, unlike humans, AI cannot determine what is right or wrong morally and factually, cannot protect sources, and has no way to adhere to any sort of professional standards., noting that platforms can do almost every task a human journalist can but"faster, cheaper, and more efficiently than human journalists." However, the bot notes that AI can't completely replace the human element of a news story.
"Human journalists are not only information providers, but also storytellers, educators, watchdogs, and influencers. Human journalists have a voice, a perspective, and a purpose. Human journalists have a passion, a curiosity, and a creativity," the bot wrote."AI cannot replicate these qualities." Jon Schweppe, the policy director of American Principles Project, expressed a similar sentiment, telling Fox News Digital AI can only"report basic facts and figures it scrapes from the internet.
"AI isn’t human, it doesn’t have unique thoughts," Schweppe said."It can’t do on-the-ground reporting, it can’t break news that hasn’t already been reported elsewhere, and it can’t even comprehend the idea of writing a human interest story."ultimately concludes that AI should not be used in journalism, calling on media companies to refrain from the practice and"support and empower human journalists instead.
"We found that Bing Chat made lucid and persuasive arguments for keeping AI out of journalism," the editors wrote."It’s an ironic and disturbing success to the experiment — but one that we hope will generate discussion among our fellow humans.
