    I was ready to hate on this idea when I read the headline, but I don't know, a use like this seems fine.

    I feel like the answer isn't one or the other. Its: You can roll out this AI tool, but that doesnt change the fact that more cadet journalists are required.

    But doing this still squeezes people out of work, particularly young people aspiring to be journalists.

    And I'd have to ask, are they using regional locations as a trial to see how it works? Because if it does and there is no pushback it makes it a lot easier to use AI in other areas of operations.

    Less salaries to pay in Australia while Anthropic gets wealthier. We are selling out.

    Attrociously damaging for the ABC's reputation and credibility.

    As far as I'm concerned, they lost all of that when I saw their Palestine coverage and absolute advocacy for Israel and defence of genocide.
