A recent survey has found that news articles are the main form of written copy that consumers believe should be human-made.
Google recently launched a program for a group of publishers, which offers access to AI tools in order to help them produce content (Source: AdWeek).
Bynder recently conducted a survey of 2,000 consumers in the UK & US, which uncovered that news articles are the form of written copy that consumers believe should be written by a human, more so than any other form.
51% of consumers believe that news stories should be written by a person, which was followed by service reviews (50%) and then advice guides (41%).
Commenting on the findings, Steve Vinall from Bynder said:
“Google is reportedly testing a new software which will help journalists write articles. This is no surprise, given that as AI is evolving, it is helping to speed up processes in a number of industries.”
“However the use of AI in journalism should be carefully monitored. A spokesperson from Google has rightfully discussed best practice, which will involve the human-element required in journalism, involving creating and fact-checking their articles.”
“In our recent survey, we found that out of a range of types of written copy, news stories were ranked by consumers as the format which should be created by a human. Journalists should ensure that articles still have the human feel of utilising AI tools to avoid reader dissatisfaction or even distrust.”
