Also, these AI-generated articles would (and in many cases, already do) work to report strictly factual events—financial data, seismic readings, historical events etc.

The thing is, anything humans consider to truly matter involves humans (Robot fighting other robot…? who gives a crap? Massive volcano in ocean…? Only interesting for its relevance to us).

Only, there are no facts with humans, just interpretations, truths and beliefs.

Would AI report on something like Syria, or Trump’s WH, any better—or with greater impartiality—than human reporters?
