A little while ago, I read an article from a local online paper. It was blatantly and totally written by AI, and it was obvious.
It contained a rather marked inconsistency, but I wasn't surprised: some human journalists do this too. I know well how they operate: where they don't know something, they invent. I saw it in person as a teenager.
Under the article, one of the people involved left a comment clarifying almost everything, saying, "it seems you're describing a different story".
The editorial team replied, talking in circles (with another message produced entirely by AI) and remarking that yes, some details might be imprecise as the story was "reconstructed".When they say AI will steal jobs, perhaps they're not wrong. If you're a journalist and you do something like this, you probably aren't worthy of that job.

@stefano I’m starting to see a lot of odd errors in news stories: factual, grammar and spelling, that makes me wonder how much of it is written by AI and then not checked for errors. And I’m also wondering how often I read and absorb information from a news article that should be correct, but isn’t.

@DawnBlackbirds if you see grammar and spelling, it probably isn't AI - but factual...yes, it may be

@stefano Possibly not, but I am seeing spelling and grammar issues far too often, and it’s only started in the last year or so. Can’t help feeling all three are connected. I’ve read something in the last couple of days about spellcheck going weird because it’s now done by AI, so it is possible.

@stefano the BBC of all institutions seems to be heavily written by CBS (USA 'partner') and/or AI. Odd terms, out of context terms/words and other weirdness in many articles.

«...Habits are things we learn from others, and they make us 'like' others. At the same time, though, they are deeply personal. Working with this contradiction, this book explores the extent to which habits are what society can be in the era of neoliberalism, an epoch that emphasizes individual empowerment and difference...»
