The provided text alleges that The Washington Post is implementing an advanced AI system, "Heliograf 2.0," to automate news generation. This system purportedly creates articles based on government press releases, revises investigative reports to exclude dissenting viewpoints, and fabricates reporter identities. Evidence cited includes the suspicious activity of a high-volume, yet seemingly non-existent, journalist and the absence of certain controversial details in AI-generated news compared to original wire reports. The author warns that this trend towards AI in journalism could lead to algorithmic propaganda by prioritizing approved narratives and erasing contradictory information. The text concludes by offering advice on how to identify news potentially generated by artificial intelligence.
