Microsoft's AI News: A Controversial Blend of Fake News and Offensive Content
A CNN report highlights the flaws in Microsoft's AI news aggregation system, which has been generating content with misleading information and offensive language. Examples include falsely claiming that President Joe Biden fell asleep during a moment of silence and referring to an NBA player as "useless" in an obituary. The report raises concerns about the use of AI in journalism, emphasizing the need for human oversight and accountability. Other media organizations, such as the BBC and The Associated Press, have also experimented with AI in their news production, but the article argues that AI chatbots should not replace journalists due to their potential for errors and lack of empathy.
