BuzzFeed is set to go by on A.I-generated content, with the company to use ChatGPT to create content for the site
The media giant plans to use the service to generate quizzes and further personalise its user experience.
“If the past 15 years of the internet have been defined by algorithmic feeds that curate and recommend content, the next 15 years will be defined by AI and data helping create, personalise and animate the content itself,” BuzzFeed Chief Executive Jonah Peretti recently said.
BuzzFeed recently announced that it would be cutting 12 per cent of its workforce to rein in costs.
The film industry’s most prestigious night of nights is almost here, and the nominations have been revealed
The indie sci-fi comedy drama, “Everything Everywhere All At Once”, scored the most Academy Award nominations, with 11 in total.
It was closely followed by “All Quiet on the Western Front”.
Not far behind were fan favourites including “Elvis”, “Top Gun: Maverick”, and the recent “Black Panther” and “Avatar” films.
Streaming services have not had as strong a year, with Netflix’s “All Quiet On The Western Front” the only nominee from a streaming service in the top category.

Netflix announces new tech to stop password sharing
The days of sharing a Netflix account with your friends are quickly coming to an end.
The streaming giant is set to introduce new tech which will prevent multiple households leeching off one subscription.
Execs believe around 100 million homes engage in the practice, which the company says “undermines” its ability to invest and improve content.
It’s been a rough 12 months for Netflix.
Last year, the company recorded it first subscriber loss in more than a decade.
While no exact date has been set for the worldwide rollout of the new policy, it could begin as early as March.
Users will be required to have their own account and login, unless you live in the same household as someone who has an account.
It follows a number of trials and introductions Netflix made throughout 2022.
“While our terms of use limit use of Netflix to a household, we recognise this is a change for members who share their account more broadly,” Netflix said.
“So we’ve worked hard to build additional new features that improve the Netflix experience, including the ability for members to review which devices are using their account and to transfer a profile to a new account.”
