It might sound like a scene ripped straight from The Matrix series, but the ramifications of Artificial Intelligence are troubling to Keanu Reeves. Speaking to Wired, the Canadian star aired his grievances with recent developments in technology, including ChatGPT and the Metaverse. At one point, Reeves asked his interviewer, Angela Watercutter, if she thought a bot could take her place and be conducting celebrity interviews in the future. When Watercutter said that she didn't think such a thing would happen in her lifetime, Reeves gave an ominous response. Looking his interviewer'dead in the eye', Reeves said: "Oh no, you should be worried about that happening next month."

Will artificial intelligence (AI) soon replace journalists? Many have been asking this question since the boom of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, which can write a high school essay, a poem, or even pass a medical licensing exam in a matter of seconds. Now, AI tools are seeping into newsrooms. CNET, an American tech news outlet, has acknowledged using AI to write financial articles, seemingly as early as November 2022. When looking more closely at the articles on CNET, a disclaimer reads: "This article was assisted by an AI engine and reviewed, fact-checked and edited by our editorial staff".
