Zerkalo's AI proofreader experiment: What LLMs can and cannot do in a newsroom
Right out the toaster. Reliable, with some real depth.
Summary
A Belarusian newsroom (Zerkalo) attempted to build an AI proofreader using large language models integrated directly into their CMS. The experiment became a practical case study highlighting where LLMs can effectively assist editorial workflows (e.g., proofreading tasks) and where human journalists remain essential. The article is framed within the broader context of news media's financial transformation and the search for sustainable solutions.
