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!

Remember watching your favorite news anchors get old and finally die... our children won't.

Or they can watch them age in an accelerated fashion through the course of the hour of news and they finally die when they give their signature send off comment. And the cycle can begin anew every evening.

I mean, why not?
