This is generally what I say about news reporting on any technical topic. Just look at any report on a subject you understand, realise how much they get wrong. Now, assume the same level of accuracy on a subject you don’t understand.
Not just news reporting, but the propagation of information in general, so add in social media and word of mouth in there too. Assume everything you hear or read is wrong, because the majority of info is created from the first peak of a Duning-Kruger chart.
This sort of thing is why I’m so excited for AI journalism, yes it costs jobs but the quality improvement will be drastic as they won’t get burnt out, can “understand” every topic, and can even produce in multiple languages accurately. We won’t have to worry about this anymore as people won’t have to click on one of say 100 articles written to get people to read when they can choose 1 that is actually interesting of 1000.
It absolutely will be used to do that, but people can choose where they get their news, so if you put out such a news source people will go to you instead of those sites. This is the good part capitalism.
It’s cheaper and easier to produce more high quality articles if you don’t have to worry about journalists getting burnt out or overworked. This also opens the door for writing the same article in many different languages with analogies and the like tailored for different cultures based on language or even location, as well as even writing it in real time with the specific person in mind so it can be more interesting to them. On top of this it means that you can get stories quicker than everyone else with the same quality as AI is much faster than a human.

You’re making a bold assumption that it won’t be used to fill the market with countless clickbait trash as a low cost money making machine
