It's weird, but more and more I find myself in league with the bartender who throws C3PO and R2D2 out of his establishment. @nyguild

I'm joining my fellow unionized @USATODAYCo journos today in efforts to stop any attempts to replace employees with AI. @therecordguild

@USATODAYCo readers deserve news from human journalists. That's why our members and unionized @USATODAYCo workers across the country stood together today, taking a coordinated break to protest the company's use of AI. #newsnotslop.

Today, I am joining colleagues across the @USATodayCo network, formerly Gannett, in a Lunch Out against A.I. slop. We are calling on @USATodayCo to stop forcing generative artificial intelligence on newsrooms and to invest in the people who power our journalism.

[Amanda Oglesby 🌊 @OglesbyAPP]

AI is inaccurate and sloppy. It cannot do the work of journalists and photographers. However it can plagiarize, insert errors and hallucinate falsehoods. We need human-driven news reporting, not AI garbage from our newsrooms. @appmcjguild @GannettUnion @nyguild @newsguild

Thank you https://t.co/4aB0RNzfXP's @myersgene and @newsfallon for their “Hurdles to Health Care” series that covered a range of important topics, including the complex health needs of people with autism and other developmental disorders.

The series mentioned @AutismNJ's creation of a statewide consortium to define autism-friendly care. Our goal is to support substantial and sustainable changes in healthcare systems throughout the state. For more information about our consortium, visit https://t.co/v9eAlMsVAv.
