PSA: Reporters using LLMs to write your stories, please stop. Editors can tell, & you are not doing better than you otherwise can. Especially in longform journalism, you're chosen in part for the unique perspective you bring, not because you can use a tool available to everyone.

In the past 2.5+ years I have seen vast improvement in AI models while NYT think pieces on these AI models have stayed exactly the same. Explain. The "overhearing" of students confessing to using ChatGPT to write their papers is the new Thomas Friedman talking to cab drivers.
