The LA Times is adding AI-written alternative points of view to opinion columns, editorials, and commentary. To the surprise of no one, this AI then diminished the hate-drivenness of the Ku Klux Klan as a movement.
As Brian Merchant writes:
This feature had already been derided for automating one of journalists’ least-favorite editorial imperatives, both-sidesing a story. Now it was automating the revision of history and the dulling the realities of racism, too.
