I spent a decent amount of time conversing with chatbots this year, trying to gauge how effective they are at writing and editing. Their headlines were boring. Their social posts sounded like they were written by overcaffeinated marketers. Their copy was predictable, or it was inaccurate. They certainly couldn’t gain the trust of sources or come up with great story ideas. In short, most reporters don’t have to fear for their jobs anytime soon. Nor do editors.
