AI Casts a Pall Over the Wine Writing World, and It’s Mostly Your (Our) Fault
Well, it seems that AI is all the rage in the news lately (even my now 99 year old cousin was asking me about it), and wouldn’t ya know it, just a few days after I waxed pseudo-philosophically about wine writing online in the age of agentic browsing traffic comes news that a winner of […] This article was originally published on 1WineDude.com .
