The Wall Street Journal reports BuzzFeed Inc. (BZFD) announced in a memo sent to staff on Thursday that the internet media company will rely on ChatGPT creator OpenAI to enhance its quizzes and personalize some content for its audiences.

The memo, sent by CEO Jonah Peretti, says that the company intends for AI to play a larger role in the BuzzFeed’s editorial and business operations this year.

Mr. Peretti expects AI to assist the creative process and enhance the company’s content, while humans play the role of providing ideas, “cultural currency,” and “inspired prompts,” he wrote in his memo. In 15 years, he wrote, he expects AI and data to help “create, personalize, and animate the content itself,” rather than just curate existing content.

BuzzFeed’s move comes as ChatGPT, new chatbot technology from research lab OpenAI, generates buzz among consumers and businesses alike. Some publishers have said they are starting to discuss using AI technology, while others are already experimenting with it.

Microsoft Corp . (NASDAQ:MSFT), which has invested billions of dollars in OpenAI, plans to incorporate artificial-intelligence tools like ChatGPT into all of its products, Chief Executive Satya Nadella said last week.

It was also announced this week that Facebook (NASDAQ:META) parent company, Meta Platforms (META) will be paying BuzzFeed close to $10 million dollars as part of an effort to bring more creators to their platforms.

Shares of BZFD are up 167.22% near end of day trading on Thursday.

META and MSFT are also up 3.41% and 1.70% respectively.

We encourage you to use comments to engage with users, share your perspective and ask questions of authors and each other. However, in order to maintain the high level of discourse we’ve all come to value and expect, please keep the following criteria in mind: 

  • Enrich the conversation
  • Stay focused and on track. Only post material that’s relevant to the topic being discussed.
  • Be respectful. Even negative opinions can be framed positively and diplomatically.
  •  Use standard writing style. Include punctuation and upper and lower cases.
  • NOTE: Spam and/or promotional messages and links within a comment will be removed
  • Avoid profanity, slander or personal attacks directed at an author or another user.
  • Don’t Monopolize the Conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also believe strongly in giving everyone a chance to air their thoughts. Therefore, in addition to civil interaction, we expect commenters to offer their opinions succinctly and thoughtfully, but not so repeatedly that others are annoyed or offended. If we receive complaints about individuals who take over a thread or forum, we reserve the right to ban them from the site, without recourse.
  • Only English comments will be allowed.
