The Wall Street Journal said that billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller did not violate its policies by using artificial intelligence to write an op-ed published Monday that criticized Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s interventions in the U.S. bond market.
Paul Gigot, the Journal’s editorial page editor, said in a statement Tuesday that AI is a “fact of modern life” that people will use to assist their writing, research, grammar and editing.

Slippery slope Mr. Gigot. Next you'll have stringers using AI to write stories or interviews they never witnessed or attended. Frankly I'm surprised at the WSJ for allowing it. No worries, pretty soon we won't need reporters or columnists at all. With traditional print edition sales in free fall (hovering at just over 400,000) and the majority your 4 million subscribers reading online, I hope you train your bots to write in AP style and to not rely too heavily on the dreaded emdash. Speaking of which, Stanley F. Druckenmiller couldn't even make it through the first two paragraphs without using one TWICE. We did not need an announcement to tell us it was AI written. It was obvious on Monday.
