Abstract
The article discusses a new initiative at The Washington Post, called Ripple, aimed at expanding opinion writing through partnerships and the use of an AI writing coach named Ember. The author reflects on their experience in the literary world, emphasizing the importance of editorial judgment in filtering out low-quality writing. Concerns are raised about the potential for Ember to produce generic and unoriginal content, which could undermine the quality of opinion pieces. The piece critiques the direction of the Post under owner Jeff Bezos, suggesting that the focus on AI-driven content may detract from the paper's journalistic integrity and commitment to its readers.
