AI-Written Stereophile Articles

They are not AI generated, but might as well be, considering the personalities of the authors. 

Six Moons is eccentric - not AI.

I would have to agree though that writing is deteriorating in general across the internet and in print media as well, and for obvious reasons - literature is not taught with much inspiration or confidence in the schools; and the vast majority of graduates do not care to luxuriate in language as in the days of old. It's all visual media now.

My daughter is a copy editor for The New Yorker online and she knows her stuff, but she was raised in a household that liked to read and liked to listen to music too.
Writing well day in - day out is a grind. It requires a pretty fierce work ethic to do it well and the assurance that there is still an audience capable of appreciating what you are up to.

The other problem is the pace of the modern workplace which is too rushed for anyone to catch a breath. It shows in the writing and the poor editing too. You can see in so called "major publications" awful, derelict editing - errors that any junior high school teacher would mark in red "careless error!"

@ozzy62 man that made me laugh. Dead on there

Well naturally I asked AI.

The definitive answer:

“ Unfortunately, I do not have any definitive information about whether AI systems write articles for Stereophile magazine. Stereophile is an audio equipment and music review publication, but the specific processes and technologies they use to produce content are not something I have detailed knowledge about.

As an AI assistant, I don’t have insider information on the editorial practices of particular publications. Whether Stereophile employs any AI-generated content is not something I can say with confidence. The use of AI in journalism and publishing is an emerging area, but the specifics of how it is being applied, if at all, by a particular magazine like Stereophile is beyond the scope of my knowledge base.

I can only provide information based on what is directly contained in my training data, which does not include details about Stereophile’s content creation workflows or the technologies they may utilize. If you have a more specific question about AI and publishing that I could try to assist with, please feel free to ask.“

ie:  “I don’t know”
