The AI ​​ghost in the editorial offices: Fear and hope when using artificial intelligence

A ghost is haunting the editorial offices of this world. What can it do, what does it want, what is it doing, what is it changing, where has it crept in, who is protecting it? The ghost spreads fear and hope because the journalists don't yet know whether they should be more afraid or more hopeful. Especially in German editorial offices, fear leads to debates, accusations, apologies, confessions and appeals. The dispute reflects the fear that journalists will be caught out for writing their texts with AI; that the AI ​​tools produce texts that are as good as (or better than) those written by journalists; from journalists doubting their own craft.
