I dream of a not-so-smart news summarization engine that will not try to rewrite the news, but only pickup all the numbers and quotations, then present them in a table of who-said-what and how-many-what, along with the title.
This would put an end to filler-based journalism.
The unfortunate truth is that your clickbait and byte sized arguments are what people want. Trying to solve it from the top down is a lost cause.
No it might put an end to the filler-producing journalists, the so called journalism would still get produced, albeit by a bot.
The real journalists (in terms of a better differentiation) would then be even more drowned out in an ever growing dessert of CGH (computer generated headlines).
