Gannett, the parent company of USA Today, has been accused of using artificial intelligence (AI) to write articles and opinion pieces while attributing them to fake bylines. Last week, several articles published on Reviewed, a USA Today-owned site, were not recognized by the site's staff, leading to suspicions that AI was used. Gannett denies using AI, but about 40 people at Reviewed claim otherwise. The controversy highlights the growing role of AI in journalism and its potential impact on the authenticity of news content.
