"journalist" should be a protected title, like "engineer". that if you misrepresent things, you lose your practice

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Kenny Who?
Writers John Wagner & Alan Grant and artist Cam Kennedy saw the potential dangers of AI art back in the mid-80s. Dredd stories were always prescient but this one hits hard today. See also America.
