Exactly, it's been going on for years. Buy a media outlet, optimize for cost (fire half your writers), content degradation, fire more writers and replace them with AI, watch readers depart. Only the AI bit is new. I've seen it repeat over and over.

Maybe this guy is thinking AI generated CNET articles will save them, heh.
