Hmmmm.
Not a fan of Stuff’s new design, or NZ Herald’s…
…both feel like an AI noticeboard devoid of human editorial decisions and weighted by algorithm.
It feels like a lot of AI generated material focused on maximising clicks.
The point of the media is not to tell us what to think, but what we should be thinking about, these new websites just feel like the AI is electing stories and just mass pasting them up.
It feels less human and more streamlined.
I understand a lot of tech people no longer have jobs after these changes and you get that metallic feeling when looking at the new designs.
Cold and streamlined for profit maximisation, not fourth estate obligations.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Goodbye humans….hello AI and machine learning. What next I wonder?
