Sports Illustrated Published Articles by Fake, AI-Generated Writers (reader, sound, Google)

.. without telling their readers.

There was nothing in Drew Ortiz's author biography at Sports Illustrated to suggest that he was anything other than human.

"Drew has spent much of his life outdoors, and is excited to guide you through his never-ending list of the best products to keep you from falling to the perils of nature," it read. "Nowadays, there is rarely a weekend that goes by where Drew isn't out camping, hiking, or just back on his parents' farm."

The AI authors' writing often sounds like it was written by an alien; one Ortiz article, for instance, warns that volleyball "can be a little tricky to get into, especially without an actual ball to practice with."

News stories area also being produced by AI.
But there was no "fake author" name tagged to it.
So now they are making up names to go along with AI generated publishings.

The net is also being flooded with AI generated images and you can't tell real from fake.

yeah, this takes it to another level. funny how fast SI deleted the articles without comment after Futurism pointed them out.

SI says the articles were written by a contracted company, and the stories were written by humans using pen names. Nothing new there.
