You can call it whatever you want but it’s killing journalism when LLMs can automatically scrape and reword all the news. Sucking up the profits without contributing anything back to the people who created the work.

I don’t think many people are getting daily news from LLMs. Journalism has been dying since long before LLMs burst onto the scene as well.

The general problem here is that as soon as something is news, there will be not only numerous articles about it from multiple publications but also discussion of it on social media.

Which means LLMs have a zillion sources to get the story. Removing any given subset isn't going to prevent it from having the information in the training data, all it does is prevent that subset from being archived for future humans.
