G/O Media is using AI to churn out articles at the business news site Quartz
and its AI is already citing other AI-generated slop.
The article from Futurism discusses the issue of AI-generated content, specifically focusing on a case involving Quartz, a business news publication, which published AI-generated articles filled with errors and nonsensical content. These articles, described as "slop," were produced using AI tools like Grok, developed by xAI, and were criticized for their poor quality, including factual inaccuracies and bizarre phrases. The incident highlights broader concerns about the use of AI in journalism, where the pressure to produce content quickly can lead to the dissemination of low-quality, error-ridden material. This situation underscores the challenges and ethical considerations of integrating AI into content creation, emphasizing the need for human oversight to maintain journalistic integrity.
