This week on The Media Copilot, I sat down with Kate Knibbs, senior writer at Wired, to dissect the murky world of AI-powered content farms. Her investigative reporting on how SEO masterminds are snapping up legacy media domains—like The Hairpin—to churn out AI-generated slop was a wake-up call for the industry. But is it all doom and gloom?
In this episode, we discuss:
🔹 How AI is being used (and misused) to scale content for cheap clicks
🔹 The evolving media landscape—how can journalism adapt and thrive?
🔹 Who, if anyone, is actually getting AI content right?
🔹 The future role of AI in journalism—tool or takeover?
🔹 The latest Thomson Reuters ruling and what it means for copyright battles in AI
If you care about the intersection of AI, media, and journalism, this conversation is a must-listen.
