Pew Research is among the most reliable sources of information about news consumption, but even they sometimes bury the lead (or “lede” if you collect Social Security).  Most chatter about this report on news sources was about the fact that Facebook is the most-used social channel for news, despite Meta’s attempts to downplay its role.  But I prefer to note that more U.S. adults often get their news from news websites and apps (29%) than search (27%), social media (19%), or, heaven forbid, podcasts (9%).

AI-edited content is less concerning than AI-generated content — that’s the takeaway from Meta’s adjustment to its AI labeling on Facebook and other platforms. The “AI info” label will continue to appear on AI-generated content. Where content has only been modified or edited using AI, the label will appear more demurely in the post’s menu.
