Microsoft's AI-Generated News Polls Spark Controversy and Backlash

Microsoft's MSN news portal has been criticized for pumping out AI-generated "news" articles that are often misleading and incomprehensible. The company's decision to lay off human editors and rely on AI has resulted in the distribution of garbage content to millions of readers. Microsoft has faced backlash for publishing inappropriate and tasteless AI-generated polls, as well as bogus stories. Former editors express concern over the potential impact on readers who may be swayed by the content. While Microsoft claims to be addressing the issue, the incident raises questions about the future of AI in media and the standards of journalism.
