    I’m not taking all the credit but I do hope those people who didn’t believe me in the past could rightfully take this comment, print it, pull down their pants and shove it up their ass.

    It’s time to hold journalism with a higher standard and this idea that “well they do alright” and “it was only once” is bullshit sliding into madness.

    Just the facts, folks.

      The problem with your attitude towards this is that these companies are forcing “AI” down everyone’s throat. It’s a requirement now to churn out more bullshit than humanly possible.

      This person was simply fired because they didn’t catch the false information, and not because they used the tools forced upon them.

        Sifting through information to find out what’s true and what’s not, before presenting it to the public, is a pretty crucial task and ability for an actual journalist though. It is probably one of the most important parts of their job to verify the correctness of their sources and what they write regardless of whether or not they use AI tools.

          Then maybe they shouldn’t be using these tools in the first place. Other Conde Nast employees have already been blowing the whistle about this, which is funny because they sued all the AI companies for stealing content.

          Whether there is a news article about it or not, these shitty tools are being shoved down everyone’s throats. From developers, to authors.

            I absolutely agree, they should not write articles with LLMs. I’m just saying they’re not absolved of basic journalistic responsibility because they’re instructed to use LLM tools.

        Absolutely not. Ars has a no AI policy, it’s the exact opposite. Guessing you are a nice little bot.

          A fucking moron who runs around calling everything a bot when you disagree with whatever the topic is.

          It’s the new CyberTruck of online insecurity.

          Hope that’s “good” enough for you.
