Why We're Banning AI

Current Affairs magazine has implemented a strict anti-AI policy prohibiting AI-generated text and art, citing the need to protect human creativity and combat the "slopification of media" as newsrooms increasingly replace writers with AI to reduce costs. Editor Nathan J. Robinson criticizes major publications like Business Insider and Sports Illustrated for publishing AI-generated content, sometimes deceptively, and argues that while corporations prioritize profit over workers, publications should instead commit to remaining "handmade" with human-created work.
