@ProPublica What makes you think people want to pay for AI slop? Maybe have a rethink on that one and then ask again...

@ProPublica Nope. No cash for you. Use human writers. Until then, gfys.

@ProPublica holding any further donations until I see how union negotiations go

@ProPublica As a monthly subscriber, I believe that your reporters deserver industry-standard “just cause” job security, a fair and transparent disciplinary process, union steward representation when requested, and guardrails ensuring artificial intelligence does not replace journalists. You have a great thing going. Keep it going.

@ProPublica after reading stance of @propublica management on AI vs @propublicaguild, the likelihood of me contributing or even trusting you ever again is nil.

@ProPublica I’ll get on that donation as soon as you sign that contract your journalists are asking for.

In fact, do one better and ban AI from your published material altogether.

@ProPublica

@ProPublica
Piling on here, former donor, currently bummed about the senseless fight you're having with the guild over spicy autocorrect. Please sort this out.

@ProPublica Sadly I can't support ProPublica as it stands.

I have no interest in donating to support AI content, especially when there's a refusal to label it such.

I have no interest in my donations being used to put out slop while funneling more money and power to tech oligarchs, all to the cost of workers and the environment.

ProPublica must negotiate a union contract in good faith that protects employees' jobs and your readers from AI if the organisation wants my support

@ProPublica Siding with labor on this one. Revisit the drive after negotiations.

@ProPublica How about you commit to banning AI and to fair treatment of your employees?

@ProPublica How about you reach a deal with your union over AI usage in your newsroom before asking me to send you any money? Otherwise you can fuck yourselves.

@ProPublica You’ve lost another one though I doubt you care. The arrogance. How much of your work is already ai written or investigated? You’ve just proven yourselves to be nothing but good marketers.

@ProPublica How about you negotiate in good faith with your union first?

And also recognize that the minute you pollute your work with AI slop you’ll be dead to enough of your audience that your organization will collapse.

@ProPublica If you continue down the AI path, I won't donate again.

@ProPublica

I was going to. I donated last year. But I'm troubled about how your employees are being treated. Refusing to negotiate with them? Threatening to replace them with AI? You don't seem to be the company I thought you were.

@ProPublica

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Certainly not happening if PP embraces so-called "AI" in production of unlabeled content...

We'll sit back for a time and see if you actually pull the "AI trigger".

(BTW, Damn ballsy of you to be asking for money while this "choice" is happening... 🙄🙄)

🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤡🤡🖕🖕💩💩

@ProPublica
I’ll donate again when your management team wakes up and proves that you value your staff more than whatever dubious value AI may bring (at great cost to the environment). Seriously disappointed in your recent actions, PP. 😡

@ProPublica what's this I hear about AI?
