Recent investigations have highlighted significant concerns about the use of AI in journalism, particularly involving the company AdVon. Reports from sources like the New York Times and Financial Times indicate that AdVon has been creating fake AI-generated writers, not only for Sports Illustrated but also for major publications such as the LA Times and Miami Herald. These AI-generated personas come complete with fabricated bylines and headshots, raising ethical and professional alarms across the media landscape.
