Is it not a dismissal offense?

Real media critic - Margaret Sullivan? Agree 100% with everything you say.

this is why I've followed @froomkin.bsky.social for ages

To be fair, the New York Times has been committed to eroding public trust of the press for some time now. bsky.app/profile/bubb...

This is a Jayson Bair level offense.

Not to dismiss the reporters laziness; but I was under the impression that the times fact checked their reporters work before publishing. Historically they prided themselves on their rigorous fact checking, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

NYTimes has 2,000 newsroom employees, more than any other medium on the planet. Its policy on “how we use AI” should be “we don’t.”

This should be a zero-tolerance offense, to not even verify the quote implies a lack of journalistic integrity that can’t be wrist-slapped away

Thank you for this rant. Enemies of courageous, diligent journalism will surely jump on any incident of lazy, irresponsible AI use to try to discredit the noble profession.

👹👹👹👹FU NYT!

I'm reading the policy as they don't have an end to end automated article generation process; and whoever's byline's neck is on the line, regardless of how their copy is produced. I suspect it's phrased the way it is to give the (false) impression no reporters dare use AI, because ppl don't like AI

they are splitting hairs here I think they may not use it to write THE article but just parts of it? ;)
