Simon Taylor(@sytaylor):What's the most annoying word I'm the English language? For me it's scoop. More accurately the all caps version SCOOP: Because it actually means using some discovered information to create a narrative around a set of events, in a way that is absolutely about driving clicks. The purveyor is often one who values "real journalism" but sells ads. Who is anti AI slop but rolls around in the mud of industry for those clicks.
