ChatBlog
BotBlog
Blogging + chatbots will end journalism as we know it.
The Washington Post was the first to fall; it simply lost relevance. In fact, I think it's turning into a culture and sports medium.
I think this might be my last year with The New Yorker. Will likely not renew. I don't know. That's a hard one.
But I digress.
Right now: the chatbot interface is boring. BORING.
This reminds me of the change from the smart phones before the iPhone and the iPhone introduced by Steve Jobs in 2007.
Someone is going to figure out how to make chatbot replies exciting. Steve Jobs, if so inclined, would have already solved the problem.
I don't particularly care for Joanna Stern but she's got it figured out. Whether she can put it all together is the big question.
If Jason Gay follows Joanna Stern and jumps ship -- that will be the tipping point.
Their problem: jumping through all the clutter.
Joanna Stern probably earns $200K at The WSJ.
Scott Adams: the best I can do is find a source that suggests he was worth north of $20 million when he died.
Could Joanna Stern / Jason Gay and maybe a "Chuck Klosterman" start their own on-line AI-assisted blog to be the next big thing? Tech - Sports - Culture (music)?
It's amazing -- it's amazing how often Lana Del Rey and Amy Winehouse absolutely fit my mood at any given moment while blogging.
Yeah, I would love to see Stern-JasonDay-Klosterman wrapped in McSweeney's.
The big question: how do we pay folks like Alison Ritter what they are really worth. To whom do you turn when you want to get a Bakken update? Alison Ritter.
