A short piece in Climate Skeptic where Chris Morrison makes an interesting point about the BBC and Net Zero. Interesting because the point made won't stop there.
If the BBC Never Questions Net Zero it Might as Well be Replaced With Cheaper AI
What's the point of employing so many journalists just to regurgitate the official line?...
Opinions may differ, but suitably prompted AI could easily replicate much of the climate output of the BBC over the last two decades.

The beeboid stuff might just as well be labelled as TTK+1, as they just spout his idiotic stuff as though it were true...
Have to admit that I only click on their stuff when a real reason occurs, like when they lie about President Trumps' speech, but there again, as I never trust that bunch in W1A, I don't really worry too much...
It would be a good fit, too: all artificial and no intelligence.
At least AI's "hallucinations" are not deliberate lies. Though they may be regurgitations of lies read off BBC and Guardian websites I suppose.
More like four decades at least. And if any one at Beeb dares to kick against the pricks they vanish. I can think of David Bellamy and Johnny Ball.
People that I respected lost credibility by inserting some Global Warming, the impending disaster with Tipping Point always 5 years away now known as Climate Change - doom-di-doom-doom. My recent disappointment was Monty Don.
Neil Oliver , of his own volition - but who knows - left the BBC gravy zero carbon train and now talks sacrilage.
The Beebs new motto "Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus,"
In 3-5 years time, every job that requires a laptop/pc can be replaced by AI. Doesn't mean that they will be (BBC will probably be last ones to replace those people). Add humanoid robots into the mix. AI together with robots will be bigger than what internet was in the 90's, bigger than industrial revolution.
Scrobs - yes, it's just an old and discredited formula, there is no value in emitting more of it year after year but they do.
Jannie - good point, it is unintelligently artificial, like supermarket music played over and over again.
dearieme - I don't see how AI deals with lies from websites such as the BBC, Guardian or Wikipedia. Elon Musk has said that any AI system has to pursue accuracy if it is to compete with competitor systems and become trusted. Maybe this is the thinking behind Grokipedia too, but how it is to be achieved I don't know.
Doonhamer - yes, if you aren't on board with BBC culture, out you go if you are a presenter. Neil Oliver is an interesting leaver, his reasons seem to be a fiercely independent outlook which he won't water down, but I don't know if he's explained it in any detail.
Anon - it's already happening too. The other day I had to query an Amazon order so my first contact was with their AI system. After a few questions and answers it decided that a refund was in order and dealt with it that way. I didn't contact a human at all.
