The future we’re trying to avoid. #WritersNotRobots

We reimagined New York Magazine's inaugural issue from 1968 in an AI world. The bots are coming.

I’ve listened to our company’s leaders tell us over and over they don’t think the work we do at New York Magazine can be done by AI. We know our readers certainly don’t want to pay for a magazine like that. So let's put basic job protections in our contract.

here is a samling of things AI has lied to Vulture cinematrix players about: - Lupita Nyong'o was in The Woman King (she dropped out ) - Revolutionary Road is over 2 hours long (it's 1h 59m) - Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins are in Promising Young Woman (??) #WritersNotRobots

For the latest issue of New York Magazine I profiled Ta-Nehisi Coates, who talked to me about Israel and Palestine, the failures of the media, and what Gaza means for the civil rights movement nymag.com/intelligencer/…

This is a great feature by Read Max in the new issue of New York Magazine about what happens when human-made content gets replaced by AI slop: nymag.com/intelligencer/…

A note from Max's newsletter

This week, New York Magazine published a very good feature story on low-grade AI-created content taking over the Internet and making it worse. It’s about what happens when human-made content gets replaced by AI slop: nymag.com/intelligencer/…

We believe that our leaders at New York Magazine don’t want to become a slop shop. And we know—as does @VoxMedia—that the company’s deal earlier this year with OpenAI is worthless without the highbrow, lowbrow, brilliant, despicable work that New York Magazine employees do every day.

But if our company leaders believe that quality journalism made by humans is valuable, why won’t they put a commitment to that in our contract?

Today, we sent a letter to New York Magazine's leaders David Haskell and Pam Wasserstein demanding the kinds of basic job protections we've been asking for since March. If you also don’t want New York Magazine to be made by a bunch of robots, let New York Magazine know.

What’s the alternative? A magazine full of slop. (Illustration: Zohar Lazar)

This terrific story, written by a human, is about how craptastic AI-generated content is making the internet suck worse than you thought it did before. It'd be a shonda if that happened to journalism. Surely our bosses at New York Magazine, which published this story, would not permit it.
