In this case it was very much NOT "damned if you do, damned if you don't"--It's just don't. As a journalist it's your whole fucking job to do the research and report things accurately and truthfully. There's no reason at all the "journalist" in question here should have had an AI generated anything for his shitty article. The fact that this was a story on AI misuse in the first place only adds insult to injury.

They can't have it both ways - either they demand AI and accept the consequences, or they give sufficient resources to staff to complete their work without it.

And yet, if you don't, you will be undercut by the [grossly subsidized AI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing) and out of a job, either individually if your management leans AI or the whole enterprise if they don't, replaced by the AI slop factories.
