It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

Last week, a federal judge ordered immigration agents in Chicago to use body-cams: "That is not a suggestion."
Yesterday, agents stopped a state lawmaker and *pointed a gun at him*
They had body-cams -- that weren't on
I know b/c the cameras have a blinking light when on. These weren't flashing
