I’m certain they’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and AI is a convenient way to justify it, rather than admitting they don’t want humans using it to circumvent the paywall. It does solidify for me personally that the LA Times is the paper of record for the United States going forward, rather than the New York Times.
The LA Times also blocks the Internet Archive unfortunately. I’d recommend PBS NPR ProPublica or some other nonprofit organization for your US paper of record.
