If journalists and their platforms do not get paid their articles won't get written. So no, the free absorbtion of professional articles into a LLM that uses the article to answer a Pokemon question online in 6 months is not making "news" more "accesible".
It’s moreso an archive of historical knowledge. Thinking it just answers Pokémon questions is shortsighted.
