Predictive AI used in a controlled manner to aid in research or quantitative analysis can be a useful tool to speed up information gathering. Generative AI used to create content is at best misleading or superficial; and at worst dangerous on many levels. It can produce misleading or false information. It can create libelous content or even inciteful messages. Someone in the discussion mentioned that what concerned her was malevolent intent. As consumers of information, we have to always assume malicious intent. At least 10% of any large group, and possibly more, are out to cheat , steal, deceive, undermine, or otherwise damage the public. And this is not paranoid conspiracy spinning. The history of humanity demonstrates that there are always those that will attempt to disrupt and orderly social system. AI gives that type of person a near-perfect cover of legitimacy while intending ill. I would hope that the Humble Dollar would not resort to AI authorship for the "convenience." Readers are making financial decisions based on the content here. They are looking not just for information but human judgement based on bona fide experience.
