G/O Media's Quartz is utilizing AI to generate content but acknowledges the inherent risks of inaccuracies. The AI-generated articles are accompanied by a disclaimer indicating the experimental nature of the reporting, warning that although they strive for accuracy, they cannot guarantee it. Observations of the articles reveal frequent issues with citations, where sources are misrepresented or overly simplified. This raises concerns about the credibility of the information circulated, especially when the AI references news aggregators rather than original outlets, potentially misleading readers regarding the source of their news.
At the foot of each article is a telling disclaimer disclosing the use of AI and warning of its likely pitfalls.
The AI indeed appears to have one significant blind spot in its news articles: the quality and accuracy of its citations, which are frequently mangled.
