For-profit media companies have already haphazardly rolled out deeply flawed AI tools that publish inaccurate articles and are used as an excuse for executives to slash freelance budgets and lay off our peers in the industry. Nonprofit outlets can and must do better to preserve trust in news.

Last year @politico.com used AI to generate coverage of major political events. They also currently let subscribers generate AI-written reports on any subject. But the reports are often riddled with errors, and there's no human to fact-check them. 3/
