Get the latest tech news
OpenAI is devouring the media industry
With so many lining up to voluntarily deal with OpenAI, it's clear where the seat of power lies. And that's not something media companies...
So if a user types in “Summarize the latest tech news,” summaries of articles from Business Insider, The Verge(owned by Vox), The Wall Street Journal, or whatever other publications are included in the deals, might show up, alongside links to the sources. I’m not so apocalyptically inclined to say this is going to ruin everything — in fact, I think social media has provided more avenues than ever for readers, so-called “citizen journalists” or amateur sleuths, and others to coalesce and try to dig up important information (or at least, juicy gossip), so I don’t think it means the end of uncovering injustices and problems. But, the flip side is, with less people visiting and engaging with traditional outlets, there’s been a decline in overall news consumption rates in the U.S.. and a rise in totally incorrect digital mob mentality that I don’t think is particularly helpful to anyone’s understanding of the world or of maintaining some semblance of a shared factual reality.
