    German Tabloid Bild to Replace Editorial Jobs With AI

    Germany’s Bild tabloid, the biggest-selling newspaper
    in Europe, plans to replace a range of editorial jobs
    with artificial intelligence (AI), it has told staff
    in an email, according to The Guardian.

    As part of a separate, more immediate €100m cost-cutting
    program aimed at restoring profitability, the paper is
    also reorganizing its regional newspaper business in a
    move expected to lead to hundreds of redundancies.

    . . .

    I guess Germans would rather hear a robot's "opinion"
    about events of the day ............

    We'd have THOUGHT that "editorial" jobs - human views
    on human events - would be AI-Proof. Nope - not at all.
    "Bild" is a highly-consumed paper/tabloid ... I guess
    sort of like "Enquirer" and friends in the USA.

    Robot "opinions" aren't even robot opinions - they are
    guided/scripted ... but by WHOM ? WHY ? To WHAT ends ?

    Now, tell me, what becomes of all these human workers ?
    How do they - well, let's get real - even EAT ??? Where
    does the dole money come from, other Germans ? But THEY
    will soon be obsolete too ..........

    Then what ?
