Corporations would rather have robot do your job badly than pay you to do it right

From Engadget: CNET has issued corrections for over half of the AI-written articles the outlet recently attributed to its CNET Money team. Following an internal audit after it was first notified of an AI-written article with substantial errors, CNET Editor-in-Chief Connie Guglielmo says the publication identified additional stories that required correction. Lots of the articles were also plagiarized (i.e., stolen from a human who did the job right). So what is CNET doing about it? Are they giving up on machine-written articles that are full of errors because they're just bad copies of articles written by humans? No: they're going to “continue exploring and testing how AI can be used.” Hard to believe that this is happening for any other reason than because it gives capitalists more power and takes power away from workers.
