But there's no way to entirely block them. I show examples of hallucinations along with real world case studies — And talk explicitly about the difference between using a tool and academic dishonesty. At this point expecting people to shun LLMs is like telling them not to use the Internet

It's a subject that's very important to me too, enough that it clearly made me very upset. And I'm happy to explain WHY I'm upset, but I've been fielding ignorant comments from angry people all day about some nonsense I didn't even write and tried to explain.

It wasn't relevant at the time.
Why would I try to defend the field as a whole when I was answering a man who thinks he's qualified to explain my field to me and also clearly never seen an American press conference? Journalists DO ask difficult questions.
Just say you only read the headline.

It's not a "direct request." It's a deliberately rude post and matched her energy. If I really had a question, there'd be a question mark.
People are rude on the internet because they can be and when they're called out, they don't like it.
But what do I know? I'm just an American journalist.

There are also so many incredible pushes for nonprofit journalism in the US that are led by passionate people who want to make a difference.
But this news cycle is exhausting, full of bad information that spreads fast, and no one seems to particularly care what's true.

I have never worked for a mainstream news outlet so I can't speak to their experiences. I am happy writing freelance features and I'm considering stepping back entirely because the gig economy is exhausting.

I replied to a snarky post about "American journalists" with the same tone as the original post and it wasn't even a question.
Then someone who did not even write the post (who appear to be in the industry, American or otherwise) I replied to responded with their list of demands.
But go off.
