I don't think I'd be nearly as upset if the ai weren't copying the click bait headlines, and "word padding like a fifth grader to get to five double spaced pages" writing style.

Right, this is where ai can shine, actually improve the output from hack “journalists”

Edit: I’ll set the bar even lower: ai can shine by substituting synonyms for “beloved”. It’s aggravating how many articles use that word these days. No one ever “walks over to the nearby train stop”, but apparently “ we “trek to our beloved train stop breathlessly in time to make our beloved 8:05”. Please Google, save us by derating that word for every article not about human relationships
