New from 404 Media: the media's pivot to AI is not real and not going to work.
Media companies are laying off workers and saying they will instead use more AI. This won't work. We have gained a single subscriber from ChatGPT. Yes, one (1). It's not a business model

It’s interesting when you second guess the responses you get and it flip-flops. Have had similar when I ask it financial and investment questions.
I just asked ChatGPT a question. A very straight forward question. The answer, A, was super helpful.
More helpful than anything I found on Google, actually.
Until I asked it more questions. And it gave me a different answer B.
