• The company behind news outlets like Gizmodo and The AV Club came under fire from staff, the union and journalists this week after rolling out artificial intelligence (AI) generated articles filled with blatant falsehoods and haphazardly written sentences.
• Last week, it was revealed that G/O Media would begin to publish articles generated by AI. The move was swiftly criticized by the GMG Union, which represents Gizmodo and other news outlets under the G/O banner.
• The backlash did nothing to deter G/O Media from moving forward with the new initiative. Social media users and staff met the ensuing articles with derision, as much of the AI-generated content was filled with glaring inaccuracies and amateurish writing.
