All of this still requires actual journalism to happen at some point, though. Someone needs to conduct interviews. AI isn’t going to do that any time soon.

Yes, that work would still happen under AFP or any other aggregator that deals with sourcing the news, syndicate it and manage the revenue sharing.

There is and was so much news outside of AFP and aggregators.

Local news is a biggie, and it's hurt just as bad. Frankly, local news touches our lives far more that national news, more, and yet it is vanishing.
