"We already expect quite a lot from the public in terms of media literacy to be able to navigate the contemporary information environment; the use of these technologies in news adds a whole other layer to that."
The title is pretty self explanatory. Yes, I want to know if it’s AI generated because I don’t trust it.
I agree with the conclusion that it’s important to disclose how the AI was used. AI can be great to reduce the time needed for boilerplate work, so the authors can focus on what’s important like reviewing and verifying the accuracy of the information.
Or… and this is just an idea… don’t add “boilerplate” to articles.
If the content of an article can be summarized in a single table, I don’t want to read 10 paragraphs explaining the contents of the table row by row. The main reason to do that, is to pad the article and let the publisher put more ad sections between paragraph and paragraph, while making it harder to find the data I’m interested in.
Still, I foresee a future where humans will fill out the table, shove it at an AI to do the “boilerplate work”, and then… users showing the whole article into an AI to strip the boilerplate and summarize it.
A great scenario for AI vendors, not so great for anyone else.

Yep, my trust would go:
So ideally don’t use AI, but if you do make it clear when and how. If a site gets CAUGHT using AI, then I’m probably going to avoid it altogether
