The announcement sounds ambitious.
WordPress is introducing an AI assistant to “help” with content creation. Because what writers really needed was a robot to tell them how to write. The AI tool can “suggest changes” and “improve” text, because human editors are so last season. And, of course, it can generate entire paragraphs, because who needs original thought? The feature is in beta, which means it’s only a matter of time before it’s “improved” to the point of being unusable.
