Fun fact: AIs are lazy and will lie to avoid work.

No credible news organization is issuing corrections on half the material it publishes

I was honestly not aware that CNET was considered a "credible news organization."
This just... wow.

It's really too bad they didn't let the AI respond on their behalf.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/kelev11en:
Submission statement: New reporting finds that it's not just that CNET let an AI publish news articles that were later shown to be substantially fabricated and plagiarized. It's actually a lot worse -- at internal meetings before they deployed the AI, leadership acknowledged the factual errors and plagiarism, but ultimately chose to deploy the AI anyway. In the end, more than 50 percent of its articles required significant corrections for factual mistakes and plagiarism.
