Sports Illustrated was publishing articles under seemingly fake bylines. We asked their owner about it — and they deleted everything.
AI can be such a great tool, but they just use it for this crap… We need regulation
Unfortunately our government is full of 80 year olds who we don’t want regulating it because it will be what the corporate lobbyist want and us average Americans don’t want that.
Sadly you’re right. We at least need the basic rule of labeling content that used AI
I don’t understand what the purpose of regulation would be.
If a company writes bad articles using AI, they will lose business and the problem will be self correcting.
“Self correcting” have you tried googling anything lately? It’s all AI generated bullshit in the first pages now
Sports Illustrated Published Articles by Fake, AI-Generated Writers
It’s on the title.

In this case, the magazine created fake journalists with fake bios and used them.in the bylines. I would think that’s a kind of fraud and definitely hurts the magazine’s trustworthiness. The article goes into other publications that have also used fake journalists with their bylines in AI produced articles. I think if they were more transparent- say, labeling an article “AI created content” - it wouldn’t be as much of an issue.
This also doesn’t address errors in the AI produced articles (which could be solved by having a real life fair checker or editor).
What a funny way of telling us you didn’t read the article.
Oh come on, Rick Reilly is a real person.
