LLMs can get up to date information from primary sources - no journalists required.

I don't understand how LLMs can ask questions at a press conference.

The primary source for most news is journalism.

		In context, primary source means the subject of the article (the thing the journalist is writing about). Journalism is by definition a secondary source. (Notwithstanding edge cases like articles reporting directly on the news industry itself.)

I don't think an LLM can have secret human sources that provide them with confidential information anonymously. Not all news shows up on Twitter.

Primary sources can and often are, very biased. Journalists are (supposed to be) doing fact checks and gathering multiple sources from all sides. Modern journalism is in a terrible state, but still important.

Imagine if all info about Facebook came from Facebook...
