You’d have to pay quite a bit to get journalists to answer your questions specifically.

The whole isn’t about generating news articles, it’s about getting the model up to date on facts so it can synthesize a newspaper for you. I’d say it’s a way to get journalists to be journalists again instead of clickbait composers - as long as the model doesn’t inject clickbait there itself. I don’t trust Google to not do it sometime, but they aren’t doing it now and the infrastructure is being made for others to consume when Gemini suffers from inevitable enshittification.
