Journalists love using AI as a source because it’s a creative way of using the passive voice which sounds more neutral. Instead of attributing an action to a person like “Elon Musk’s Website Used for Generating CSAM” historically they’d use something passive, impersonal and vague like “Vulgal Pictures Are Being Generated On X”, but of you’re relatively informed you see read past the phrasing and picture how Musk is accountable. Now journalists can use the active voice so it appears more tangible but pin in on AI to sound neutral and hold nobody accountable, which serves the status quo.
