if only Washington State had a large group of people interested in gaining experience sharing stories and providing communication on behalf of the university that would be willing to do this work for cheap because, again, the experience is very valuable
@WSUCougars@fanword Took all that underdog goodwill and set it on fire for a sponsor that will probably be bankrupt or asking for a government bailout in the next 24 months, if they arent already.
As a graduate of the @MurrowCollege, I'm skeptical of any use of AI in the creative / editorial process, even as a starting point.
WSU cites "efficiency" as a chief reason for this change.
Is efficiency more important than the human element of storytelling?
I tend to think not
Player bios done by human SIDs, when done right, absolutely help generate story ideas for journalists especially in lesser-covered sports. Replacing them with AI makes the coverage worse from both people who read the school’s website + people who read local coverage
A truly mortifying decision.
Beyond disrespectful to generations of Murrow college alumnus. A reprehensible decision motivated purely by greed and a disregard for the integrity of journalism. Damaging the credibility of degrees earned by hard-working and passionate students.
