Apparently Sports Illustrated used AI to generate a reporter, his story, and even including his picture.
I understand that AI reporters are cheaper than real ones.... So good old capitalism at work. :evil:

As long as the Swimsuit models are real, I'm good.... :grin:
[edit] Humor aside, I can't believe they were so stupid so as to pull this stunt. They had to know they would be caught, and they had to know that it would piss off their customers. Here's a thought experiment: If I can use AI for free, why can't I have AI write sports stories for me, rather than pay SI to do so? Aside from saving money, it has the additional benefit of me not being lied to by a corporation....
^Define 'real,' Sir.

As in made of flesh, blood, and silicone.
^Perfect.
Working in publishing this does not surprise even one tiny bit.
In fact I know 100% it's just the tip of the iceberg in what's going on with AI in the industry.

And now you see why I've heavily invested in good VR.
Also interesting to me is how do copyrights work for these AI generated stories in Sports Illustrated? I believe human authorship is required for copyrights.
Maybe the lawyers among us can elaborate.

I know I'm a dinosaur for saying this...but I still prefer the real ones...;)

And then, the AI will realize it doesn't need SI either.

Per our legal department we've certainly advised all our authors that is the case.

think my wife would have something to say first :grin:
:lipsrsealed:
I think she's hot. But I get why acctingman's wife might not be attracted to her.
Apparently the SI content was provided by a 3rd-party content agency. This sort of thing will happen more and more as time goes on. I wonder how long before we have our first impactful AI-generated YouTuber?

I don't take my Pimax to bed.
Maybe that's the issue.
