Under existing condition an AI news site seems like a good investment idea. Its AI could read all relevant news sources and retell them and republish them in its own articles. It could even have its own AI editors and contributors. Cannot see how human news companies could compete.

News ultimately comes from physical sources on the ground, which currently AI has no way of doing.

I am sure it could easily rephrase the articles to tell them without quoting any real or verifiable sources. Many human news companies often do it too.

That style of journalism is nearly dead. True on the ground investigative journalism is hardly done today, most is just reporting existing public information releases. You don’t have to be at the presser when everything the police chief says will be put in an online transcript.
