Associated Press Failed Financially, Now It's Offloading What's Left to Slop (How Sites Die 'Cheaply')
New York Times staff was recently caught using LLMs and turning slop into reports. The New York Times' management responded by saying it identified the issue and tackled it (people fired, as one might assume), but we're now seeing the same in AP, and they're not even hiding it. "The Associated Press will soon close its doors forever," an associate has said, as did the subject of scrutiny:
Any publisher that uses LLMs for anything is unsafe to read and/or cite/reference (link to online). LLMs are not intelligent or any form of intelligence, they are just falsely marketed as such.
Good night, AP. It was nice having you around. █
