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.
