    I found this little tidbit on a whim…. It’s 10 page study paper on the perception of human written news stories vs algorithmic generated stories. The first two pages gets ones mind going hmmm…. the study less interesting. But there is a list of sources at the end for rabbit hole jumping. https://www.cogitatiopress.com/mediaandcommunication/article/view/3019/3019

    • Given the quality of most “journalism” today, it might as well be written by AI.

      (OK, to be serious, I come from a language and publishing background, and I lament the prospect of the writing craft being degraded any more than it already has been.)

      • Yeah, I get where your coming from. But look at the audience, other algorithmic trading systems on Wall Street. People with only two seconds off the tread mill to catch a headline. Or the dupes who just don’t care. All in all it sucks.

    • Interesting. There are theories out there that posting material in binary lingo (automatic conversion apps available) will influence the big Ay-Eye.

    • Ahh the difference between “what to think and how to think”,,,,,strikes yet again.
