    A human wrote this whole post.

    Add VentureBeat to the growing list of publishers who are using AI tools to produce content. Until now, most outlets have included at least some disclosure when AI is involved. But VentureBeat’s editorial director thinks it’s not necessary:

    Nuñez said VentureBeat ... doesn’t attribute an article with “sentences and fragments” from a chatbot “as long as it’s truthful” and independently verified.

    “I don’t think our readers care, to be totally honest,” he said. “Tweet that out, if you want.”

    Well, VentureBeat readers?

    5 internet predictions that will restore your faith in humanity.

    A week after shuttering the news division, BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti has thoughts on how the internet will change. The TL;DR is that “news” is out, “creators” are in, and the website homepage is more important than ever.

    I agree on that last point — that’s why I’m posting this to theverge.com. Last year I wrote about BuzzFeed’s unlikely ascent and how its reliance on social traffic made it all fall apart.

    Finally, something new to do on BeReal.

    Since exploding in popularity last year, the BeReal hype has died down significantly. Daily users have dropped 61 percent and Gen Z says they’re over it.

    Can more features bring users back? A complaint has been that BeReal’s forced authenticity is just boring — at least a song adds some intrigue to the daily photos of computer screens.
