Statement on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Usage
We understand that AI natural language processing has made key strides, we use the benefit every day as we reply to email, as we complete our texts, and when we have the opportunity to provide trusted information, we choose us.
AI helps us in many productive ways. We use NLP models to improve our products by spelling correction and to help our writers discover grammatical errors. Have we gone farther? Yes, we have altered sentences to be gender-neutral. We have analyzed every sentence – millions – and produced a usage library we provide to the public. We have experimented with extractive summaries, key take-aways plucked from our existing text – our readers find them useful. We use AI to make our productivity better; however, we think artificial content does not meet the public standard of trust, expertise, and experience.
A trust standard our longtime corporate partners have held too. No razor cuts your hair without human guidance. Machines have no experience playing golf. They are derived models from aggregated digitized information taken from the real world. Likewise, the current generative text models are taken from our content and the content of other human-first publishers.
As passing off a fake in the art world, so too is today’s word-laundering generative AI a fake. A fake expert that actively harms the public by statistically gaming the public internet.
We provide trustworthy information. Trustworthy information explains the factual, the most up-to-date information at the critical time people need it – when people take the initiative to search for information. We believe deeply in this public service. Helping people take self-directed control of their lives and make them better.
