How We Use AI
Last updated: April 2026
The Short Version
AI writes first drafts from real news sources. A human editor reviews, fact-checks, and approves every article before it goes live. AI does not choose what we cover, does not make editorial judgments, and does not publish anything without human sign-off.
Step-by-Step: How an Article Gets Made
- Step 1: An editor identifies a news story from primary sources (press releases, industry outlets, official announcements).
- Step 2: The story's source material is fed into an AI model, which generates a structured draft article.
- Step 3: The AI draft goes to a human editor who reads the original source and the draft together.
- Step 4: The editor fact-checks claims, corrects errors, adds missing context, and improves the writing.
- Step 5: The editor writes or approves the headline, excerpt, and key takeaways.
- Step 6: The article is published only after the editor approves the final version.
What AI Does Not Do
- AI does not decide what topics or stories we cover.
- AI does not invent quotes or attribute statements to people.
- AI does not publish articles — a human does that.
- AI is not given access to our publication system.
- AI does not replace editorial judgment on what is newsworthy.
Which AI Tools We Use
We currently use OpenAI's GPT-4o for article drafting. We may use other tools for image sourcing and metadata generation. We do not use AI to generate images of real people.
Why We Use AI
Music news is high-volume. AI lets a small editorial team produce consistent coverage at a pace that matches the industry. We believe this is responsible as long as human editors maintain final control — and they do.
