AI curators shape cultural criticism

A lightweight but visible use-case: a chatbot (ChatGPT) compiles and republishes a curated set of high‑quality film and television reviews by named critics, blurring authorship and editorial roles. That practice can amplify certain critics, standardize interpretive frames, and hide curator choices behind automated packaging. — If AI routinely curates and repackages criticism, it will reshape who sets cultural agendas, what interpretations circulate, and how readers assign authority.
