Beneath a recent Los Angeles Times opinion piece about the dangers of artificial intelligence, there is now an AI-generated response about how AI will make storytelling more democratic. On Monday, the Los Angeles Times’s just-debuted AI tool, “Insight”, labeled this argument as politically “center-left” and provided four “different views on the topic” underneath. Responding to the human writers, the AI tool argued not only that AI “democratizes historical storytelling”, but also that “technological advancements can coexist with safeguards” and that “regulation risks stifling innovation”. Most of the time, of course, the newspaper’s AI tool will not provide an AI’s response to arguments about artificial intelligence. Instead, as in several recent opinion pieces, the AI “Insights” button provides pro-Trump responses to opinion pieces critical of Donald Trump.
