A Wednesday Reuters report found that NewsBreak used AI at least 40 times since 2021 to publish inaccurate stories, post stories from other sources under fake bylines, and take content from competitors.
The app has caused real-world effects with examples like charities dealing with homeless people showing up for events that were inaccurately reported on the platform, causing harm.
NewsBreak seems to have allowed the use of fake names as bylines for AI-generated stories, raising concerns about credibility and transparency in news dissemination.
