> Journalists are wrong all the time, but you still treat news like record and not a sample

Straw man. Everyone educated constantly argues over sourcing.

> I'd put money that AI mischaracterizes events at a LOWER rate than AI does

Maybe it does. But an AI sourcing journalists is demonstrably worse. Source: TFA.

> narratives shift over time, and journalists are more likely to succumb to this shift

Lol, we’ve already forgotten about MechaHitler.

At the end of the day, a lot of people consume news to be entertained. They’re better served by AI. The risk is folks of consequence start doing that, at which point I suppose the system self resolves by making them, in the long run, of no consequence compared to those who own and control the AI.
