The question isn't can journalists and machines actually work together; truth is evident. It's an undeniable yes, but only before you factor in capitalism, power, and greed. The real test is what happens when saving money starts pushing that boundary.

Los Angeles may already be showing us what AI collaboration could look like. Studios are using AI in areas like VFX, dubbing and marketing, while the creative decisions still largely stay with people. The question is where that line will be drawn?

In April, ProPublica journalists walked off the job in the first U.S. newsroom strike centered on AI. They weren't asking for a ban on AI, but guarantees that layoffs wouldn't be justified by AI adoption, and that AI use in stories would be disclosed.

AI can already write, edit, and summarize the news. So the real question isn't whether AI belongs in journalism. It's whether journalists and machines can actually work together and what has to stay human for that partnership to maintain.
