In the category of practical (though not transformational) uses of AI, two interesting new features on American news sites:
- Automatic summaries: they generate 3 or 4 bullet “key takeaways” for each article. Useful given how wordy US formats tend to be, happily stretching a piece of news that would fit in 300 words to 1,000.
- Comment analysis: the AI sums up what readers think overall and surfaces the (rare) constructive contributions. Could that be a way to rescue sections that are usually drowned in an ocean of nastiness?
So, no revolution, but extra features that make the experience better. I haven’t seen anything like it on French news sites yet, have I?
