“The part of writing that most requires humans … “
Mr. Shipper argues that the advent of generative A.I. is merely the latest step in a centuries-long technological march that has brought writers closer to their own ideas. Along the way, most typesetters and scriveners have been erased. But the part of writing that most requires humans remains intact: a perspective and taste, and A.I. can help form both even though it doesn’t have either on its own, he said. “One example of a thing that journalists do that language models cannot is come and have this conversation with me,” Mr. Shipper said. “You’re going out and talking to people every day at the very edge of their experience. That’s always changing. And language models just don’t have access to that, because it’s not on the internet.”

“Writers and editors.” Bless their hearts.
Kate Lee, Every’s editor in chief, said the company had begun to train an A.I. tool to help its contributors select headlines, essentially automating and distributing the publication’s news judgment and editorial taste. Every also encourages using A.I. to help with the writing and editing of stories — which many newsrooms frown upon. “All of our writers and editors use A.I. in some capacity,” Ms. Lee said.

What he was like in school: In high school, Rubio was so disruptive that his teacher offered to give him a C- minus if he skipped class - and threatened an F if he returned to the classroom! "I finished my senior year with a 2.1 grade point average," Rubio admitted. He says he and his high school buddies used to sneak out to booze at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables - the same hotel where he would later spend his wedding night and celebrate his Senate victory.

A scruffy cat with patches of black and white fur, including a diamond-shaped spot on its nose. It is standing in front of a fence, and its ears are pointing up and out.
