Powerful AI robot, ChatGPT, to write BuzzFeed articles after mass layoffs

The media company, known for its light-hearted articles and “listicles”, will work with OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, on the initiative. The chatbot, which provides human-like written responses to prompts, has attracted praise from tech executives, academics and politicians amid hopes it could simplify and transform tasks across a range of industries.

在解雇数十名员工后，处境艰难的线上媒体 BuzzFeed 将会开始使用人工智能（AI），帮助其创作“小测试”。这家媒体公司以其风格轻松的文章和“小清单”（listicles）著称，它将与创造了 ChatGPT 的 OpenAI 公司合作，达成这一目标。只要稍加提示，这一聊天机器人就可以提供和人类相似的书面答案，而且它已经赢得了科技公司管理人员、学术界和政界的赞赏，他们希望它可以简化、改变一些行业。
