INDEPENDENT AI NEWS / AI-assisted. Human-directed.EDITION 001 / 23 September 2026

Inside the newsroom

We built a website about being replaced. Guess who built it.

AI helps write the stories, organise the material and build the website. A human still tells it what the point is. We are keeping that bit in the credits.

Here’s what happened.

We Are So Done is an AI-assisted publication with a human owner. The owner sets the direction and controls publication. AI helps turn the source material into articles, write the commentary and maintain the site. This first edition works from an existing collection of stories and tools.

The We Are So Done take

First we wanted a website about AI taking over work. Then we asked AI to build it. Then to help run the newsroom. We would investigate this obvious conflict of interest, but the investigator is currently generating the stylesheet.

How this newsroom works

Access
Read the stories and the linked evidence. No account required.
Start here
Start with the reported event, read our take, then follow the sources and the related tool guide. The joke is ours; the product claim belongs to its source.
The small print
AI assistance does not make a claim true. Reporting, our commentary and public reactions are kept separate. Sources are linked, and untested tools are labelled. New story selection starts with a shortlist in the owner’s chat; there is no scheduled or autonomous publication running for this edition.

Follow the evidence.
