Artificial Journalists This is rich, Sports Illustrated (partly owned by AXIOS), was caught printing entire articles written by AI with a fake author whose head shot was created by AI. The articles themselves have been mostly removed after the magazine was busted for this stunt. A good article here explains the mess. What articles were captured indicated ludicrous and often inane commentary. An example is this (taken from the article cited above): The AI authors' writing often sounds like it was written by an alien; one Ortiz [non-existent writer] article, for instance, warns that volleyball "can be a little tricky to get into, especially without an actual ball to practice with." No shit, Sherlock. So you have to wonder how many other magazines are going to try this trick to create bogus content to sell advertising around. An odd irony to this is that the head guy at Sports Illustrated is a famous Democrat supporter of Obama named Ross Levinsohn. Some of his previous antics are here. Seems like an anti-labor rich Democrat, But aren't they all nowadays? |
