Wyoming reporter caught using artificial intelligence to create fake quotes and stories
I wish it weren't true, but it appears to be so.
To sum up: A newspaper reporter used artificial intelligence to write stories, including fabricating quotes from people who on subsequent questioning said they'd never spoken to the guy.
Job is gone.
If you're going to use artificial intelligence in your professional life, rethinkg your approach and don't use it. Or use it judiciously. And disclose its use.
The Associated Press takes pains in the linked story to describe how journalists use AI -- in fairly vague terms -- but they also explain it's advisable to disclose how it's used.
And don't use it to make stuff up.
