I think "reporting" is a term without an agreed definition outside of journalistic context. But I'd be happy to argue that it isn't reporting either.

I agree that there are plenty of outlets that might qualify as news-shaped, or perhaps news-flavored. They might use AI-rewritten press releases. E.g., CNET's private-equity slide into untrustworthiness. But these things are basically parasitic on actual journalism. So although this is technically a use case for ChatGPT, it's a societally negative one.
