And many people don't really check things because they're overwhelmed with too many tasks, don't read well, or don't think the errors will matter much. And many organizations have calculated that it will be more profitable for them to sacrifice a little information accuracy for "efficiency."

@farseen@fedi.nptr.xyz @celesteh@hachyderm.io @knowprose@mastodon.social @mcc@mastodon.social LLMs are also cutting into journalism, as it it weren't already too underfunded. That affects our ability to hold power accountable and have a functioning democracy. Even before LLMs, the internet had already kind of screwed up the funding model for journalism. The past few decades have seen tons of job cuts, newspaper closures, and the remaining journalists doing more work for less pay, often with bosses forcing clickbait for financial reasons. 🧵 (4/?)
