“Journalists at three of #RupertMurdoch’s Australian mastheads have reported deep concern after training sessions for an in-house #AITool called “NewsGPT” .

Staffers on #TheAustralian, #TheCourierMail and the #DailyTelegraph say the tool enables them to take on the persona of another writer, or to adopt a certain style, and NewsGPT will then generate a custom article.”

…

“In March the company’s chief technology officer, #JulianDelany, unveiled #NewsGPT and described it as a powerful tool.

A #NewsCorp Australia spokesperson told Weekly Beast: “As with many companies News Corp Australia is investigating how #AI technologies can enhance our workplaces rather than replace #jobs. Any suggestion to the contrary is false.”
