AI Breakthrough in Journalism

The arrival of OpenAI's ChatGPT has revolutionized the field of AI in journalism. With its speed and capabilities, ChatGPT has set the bar for what AI is capable of and has given us a glimpse into the future of AI technology. As part of the wider trend of generative AI, ChatGPT enables computers to not only process information, but also to create something new from existing assets.

This has opened up new possibilities for journalists, writers, and content creators to bring their visions to life. With the rise of generative AI, we will see an increase in the use of AI tools in journalism and media creation. Apps such as MidJourney, Lensa, and DALL-E are already being used to create illustrative art for articles, animations for personal testimonies, and avatars of oneself, respectively.

However, with the ease of creating highly plausible multimedia content, the challenge of separating real from fake will become even greater. In the next few years, we can expect to see a significant increase in the use of automated or semi-automated media, estimated to account for 25% of all internet data by Gartner. While this will make it easier to create visually appealing content, it will also raise ethical and moral questions about the authenticity and accuracy of such content.

The use of AI in journalism and media creation will continue to evolve, and it is up to us to ensure that it is used for the betterment of society..
