It’s like a hunter running as fast as a deer. What’s this? And guess what? Yep, that’s right. The journalist AI are taking over keyboards to produce articles as precisely as Swiss watches. Are there any rainbows or sunshine in this world? Take a look and find out what’s all the buzz about.

These scribes do not talk much. These machines eat data. They crunch, analyse, and then produce. You can compare it to a worker who is never tired and doesn’t require coffee breaks. As if spreading butter on bread, they churn out tons of articles after digesting mountains of data. It’s quick, clean and without smudges.

Precision can also be a blessing. Consider consistency. AI never misquotes sources or dates. The AI is never off. It can come off robotic in its attempt to always be perfect. The human brain craves stories with heartbeats, and tales that have a pulse. Nuance, sarcasm or that cheeky wink are often programmed into the story, but it’s still not perfect.

Now let’s look at the emotional attachment. Imagine that you’re reading about something deeply personal like the tragic loss of your pet, or the success of an underdog sports team. An experienced journalist will be able to tap into sentiments behind the scenes in order to paint a vivid picture. AI? No. You can fake empathy with it, but the truth is that it doesn’t work.

Next, there is the speed. The robots write faster than any seasoned journalist drinking double espressos. Are you aware of any breaking news? AI is on it. Information will be delivered hot, fresh and in real time. Sometimes speed is more important than verification. Who is checking the facts, anyway? Humans, mate. AI may be able to piece together credible data, but it is the journalists, who are like sleuths, that dig deeper, uncover hidden layers and find the mistakes.

AI now tries to slide into the creative realm, but it is not very successful. While algorithms are great at structuring, they struggle to think abstractly. The soul of storytelling, poetry and metaphor are all human. A machine cannot be fed a life’s worth of experience, heartbreaks, or successes and become Maya Angelou, Ernest Hemingway, etc.

Hey, bots won’t throw the journalists in jail. Imagine them as your personal assistants that do all the gruntwork. They can do the grunt work, such as drafting, compiling data, or summarizing reports, allowing authors to spend more time on interesting stories. Imagine sous-chefs cutting vegetables as a chef cooks. The key is teamwork. Each person’s skills complement the other.

Let’s not even start on the subject of ethics. AI is a hot topic in many newsrooms. Can a computer be biased? Misinformation is a problem. Who should be held accountable? Do you find it disappointing to bite into an article written by AI and discover it is all soy when it was authored? Customers demand authenticity and transparency. Trust is built over years, and can be destroyed in seconds.

Language versatility is an interesting feature. AI has the ability to create in multiple languages. It breaks barriers. Global reporting is now smoother than polished stones. The stories can now be shared across borders quicker than ever before. However, cultural nuances such as idioms and humor can be lost when translating, making certain pieces more wooden than organic.

AI has a positive impact on newsrooms with limited budgets. The automation of content can reduce costs. This is great for tight budgets. This strategy, which is affordable and gives smaller outlets an equal chance to survive, could save them. Let’s make sure we don’t place our entire eggs in the same basket. An over-reliance on computers can kill human journalism talent and lead to bland, boring news.

The integration of AI into journalism is akin to a “balancing act” on a thin line. The combination of precision from machines and human insights is akin to an artist who carefully applies paint. The world is a harmonious place where heart-felt stories and data-driven articles live in harmony.

Have you ever wondered what will happen when an AI and an editor meet? This is like two dance partners where one has a perfect performance without any rhythm while the other is born with jazz. The two need to be in sync for a great show.
