You seem to believe journalists are too good to be replaced by a crap software. The problem, as is being pointed out in a thread next door about bad journalism, may be that most journalism (and, sorry, journalists) are not good. Jornalists today are lazy, don’t check facts, repeat press releases without questioning them, etc. etc. There are many reasons for that, not blaming anyone, and Cecil is in a league of its own, of course. But the title here reads: “Could AI replace journalists?”, not “Could AI replace Cecil?” I am afraid the answer to the first question is affirmative.
