More broadly, there is a pressing need to increase AI literacy across all echelons of the news ecosystem, respondents say.
This is important for sure! As journalists, we'll eventually have to compete with AI-powered news tools, and we need to understand the risks as well as make it work for us in a way
original, creative, and distinct.
I'm worried AI might be the worst tool alive to generate original ideas (just because of the way it works as a predictor of words based on previous words, such as your text prediction on your phone, or how it cannot really produce anything that hasn't been made before) but it may be efficient in assisting human ideas, such as vibe coding - generating virtual reality, AI-driven interactive storylines, etc.
