3 Substack Writers Debate AI Bubble and Job Loss at New York Markets Panel

2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 20

Summary

  • Three Substack creators — James van Geelen, Sam Ro and Jasmine Sun — used a May 28 New York panel to dissect how journalists and analysts should cover an AI-driven market moment.
  • The discussion centered on whether media coverage is overstating an AI bubble and how seriously to treat fears that automation could trigger broad job losses.
  • Silicon Valley anxiety also surfaced, with the panel weighing AI's potential effects on society and whether the technology can convincingly copy a writer's voice and personality.
  • That led to a practical question for creators: how writers can protect their work and careers as AI spreads across markets, media and other industries.
