I always assumed this was happening to an extent already, particularly with sports. In the sports news world you get all sorts of "season previews" and various articles with "each team's strength's and weaknesses".

If you weren't a fan of big name teams you'd inevitably find with your team: coaches mentioned who weren't there anymore, players who weren't there anymore, and various outdated factoids / concerns thrown in. Some "concerns" almost felt like an AI trained on fan forums where issues fans had, but had no place in reality were raised, with even local fan forum lingo tossed in ...

If it was a person, or a script that generated content that got doctored by a person I don't know, but the patter was very clear.

That sounds like it's roughly on the level of Steven A. Smith.

This is already happening with stock "analysis" that you see on Yahoo Finance for any given symbol. For example, take a look at https://stocks.apple.com/AbKUdK1ZvSFK4NdaMwMd27w

yeah, the content on MSN has been indistinguishable from AI-generated content for a long time now, long before AI has gotten as good as it is today.

if MSN has been human-curated all this time, that's a little bit embarrasing for the humans. turning it over to the AI is hardly going to make it worse

MSDNC has always been the propaganda wing for a certain pol party and not as random as ML-generated content; their marching orders are extremely specific. Fox News is similar but way funnier in their delivery.
