Fair play to them for owning up to their mistake, and not just pretending like it didn't happen!
You're absolutely right! but they can shove this euphemism. Just say that chatgpt wrote the article and no one read it before publishing, no need for all the fluff.
This is so interesting. I wonder if no human prompted for the article to be written either. I could see some kind of algorithm figuring out what to "write" about and prompting AI to create the articles automatically. Those are the jobs that are actually being replaced by AI - writing fluff crap to build an attention trap for ad revenue.

#76The same thing happened to German magazine Spiegel recently, see the correction remark at the end of this article https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/deutsche-bahn-...
"We regret to admit that our editors don't actually take the time to read these articles before hitting the PUBLISH button..."

It might be better to mention “Dawn newspaper” instead of “Pakistani newspaper”.
Only Pakistanis knew from where the Dawn newspaper is, so the current title is more informative

That wasn’t a journalist, it was an LLM. But they forgot to add the prompt.

#80Which raises the question: if everything is generated, why bother reading it at all? Just ask the LLM what you want to know—why treat headlines like bookmarks?
