Code learned journalism instead of journalists learning to code.

@matrix I wonder how many readers of tabloids will be able to tell computer-generated one from real one.
@matrix There's a Chinese phone app called Toutiao that has 700 million users, that auto-generates news stories from fact services. It's coming.
@moonman @matrix I feel like there's a big sort coming that will separate those who think for themselves and know how to determine truth from fiction (epistemology), from those who blindly trust groupthink and popular opinion.

The groupthink and popular opinion will be generated by bots, and those who trust the bots will be the bots of the bots, in a form of psychological capture.

People need to learn to think for themselves, and learn epistemology. It's a great act of love to help someone learn to think for themselves, and become more of an individual.
