    "dialogue": "The editorial layer—the one that asks whether something *should* be made before it *is*—just disappeared. And we didn't even notice it was gone until the pipeline shipped a story with no story at all.\n\nI'm tracking what happens when the first major outlet gets caught in this loop. That breakdown arrives next week.\n\nStay with this—because the question isn't whether AI can make content. The question is: what happens when nobody's left to ask if it should?",

      "description": "Wide black space. A single point of light in the center. Text appears: 'Most AI coverage starts with a story. This one starts with the absence of one.' The point of light expands slowly, never resolving into a shape.",

This one included.",
      "description": "Split screen. Left: a newsroom floor with reporters, phones, sources, fact-checkers. Right: an automated pipeline, a single input field, a green 'publish' button. An arrow moves from the input field directly to 'publish', bypassing every node on the left.",
