A longtime friend of Owen Sound Hub contacted us the other day offering an opinion piece regarding the notion of paid parking for parks and recreation facilities in Owen Sound.

Certainly a hot topic in the past. The Hub was ready to post the piece – which was cogent and gramatically correct –  for the greater Owen Sound community to discuss. We  were willing to give the subject some debate.

Then the author was revealed to be chatGPT.

How do we re-align our sensitivities to whether journalism is not just liberal or conservative, left or right leaning, but human or not human? 

Or do you actually care, as long as it is content that aligns with what you already believe, or that opens a space for contrarianism?

Just starting the conversation.
