The Association of Journalists of Information of the Balearic Islands (APIB) has issued a warning about the situation of the sector. They denounce job insecurity, professional intrusion, and the irresponsible use of artificial intelligence. They demand decent conditions and recognition for those who practice the profession.
The Technical Dilemma of AI in Newsrooms 🤖
The integration of generative artificial intelligence into the journalistic workflow poses serious technical challenges. Tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney can automate routine tasks, but their use without human supervision leads to context errors, biases, and loss of quality. The APIB demands ethical protocols and training so that AI serves as a support, not a substitute for professional judgment.
AI Writes Better Than Your Boss, But Gets Paid the Same 😅
It turns out that now any company can generate news with a couple of clicks, saving the salary of a journalist. Of course, then they complain that the texts seem written by a robot. Ironies of the trade: precarity pushes professionals to seek work in other sectors, while AI writes headlines that no one reads. At least it doesn't ask for vacation.
