I think this is true, and since automation equals less surplus labor to exploit, it may help to explain the decline of newspapers, magazines, publications, and corporate media generally. Plus, journalists (whether human or AI) aren’t allowed to write anything interesting (since that would anger the bourgeoisie and labor aristocracy, the only people who can pay to subscribe), which also helps to explain this decline, as well as competition from many forms of media which didn’t exist or weren’t as prominent only a few decades ago (video games, twitter, podcasts). There are only so many hours in the day we have to consume shit.
