Newspaper and magazine articles absolutely. Short form journalism just doesn't know it's dead yet. LLMs are perfectly capable of replacing any short form article where somebody poured over it for a few hours.

To be clear this is specifically on writing the article not on researching it or having the original idea.

But our current forms of AI aren't capable of handling anything long form content above children's books. If we ever uncover AGI, then very possibly.

Even Childrens books is not something it handles. Effectively communicating with kids is harder than you'd think.

It can make bad books for sure

Disagree, I had it generate a story a night for over a year for my kid.

You can't say just generate a bedtime story for my ex-year-old it won't have any creative spark.

I had a nice long prompt kind of mad libs style. I define the protagonist, the antagonist, mandatory people to meet along the way, depth of imagery in world building, subjects to avoid, the target audience. Every night I'd ask him for details he wanted to hear about the story or where he wanted it to take place or who the bad guys were going to be. It did a fantastic job he demanded a new story every night and would get very upset if I didn't have time.

Yes & no, it depends how long AI have AGI and evolve to next level.
With current AI tech it's nope, it's kinda like bunch of monkeys try to write hamlet. But if we give AI time to learn how human write in proper ways i think someday we can command AI to write hamlet
