"Business Insider posted a disclaimer about a new AI pilot where it will use "a custom GPT to help publish quick news stories." This custom GPT was trained on the style of how Business Insider journalists write and will all be edited by an editor at Business Insider. They wrote that they "will aim to publish a few stories a day using this tool." When the month long AI pilot is done, the publication will "evaluate the results and consider next steps, including:" How can we further improve the tool? How might various teams use it in the future? And does it free our staffers to spend more time on the kind of work that leads to distinguishing, impactful journalism?"
"I wonder how this will all rank in Google Search, AI Overviews and AI Mode. Glenn Gabe wrote on X, "There will be an AI Byline." I do commend the disclosure and heads up. Meanwhile, the AI on Reddit is ruining the platform for everyone, says Wired."
Business Insider will run a month-long AI pilot using a custom GPT trained on the publication's journalists' writing style to help publish quick news stories. All AI-generated stories will be edited by a Business Insider editor. The pilot aims to publish a few stories per day and will be evaluated for improvements, potential team uses, and whether it frees staffers to pursue more impactful journalism. Questions were raised about how AI-generated pieces will rank in Google Search, AI Overviews, and AI Mode. Concerns were also noted about AI-generated spam on Reddit degrading platform quality and search signals.
