- Looks like @apnews.com is using AI to summarize articles without even checking for basic facts... Or are they really this ignorant about Canada? Either way, shameful.
- FYI this was from Google News, and the linked article correctly states it was Quebec that had referendums. So direct outrage to Google too. But does @apnews.com know Google News is summarizing their articles with lies and attributing that to an AP journalist's name?May 6, 2025 20:46
- It is unclear in the Google News UI where the summary text comes from, which gets attributed to the author, but probably is Google's AI. This is part of what Google News presents as a partnership with @apnews.com. No other disclaimer. I also have disabled every AI feature I can in my Google account.
- I'm pretty sure Jim Morris did nothing wrong here, but if I was Jim, I'd be talking to defamation lawyers.
- I saw something like this the other day, a journalist who was no longer at Bloomberg or something similar — with bogus articles credited to her. I don’t know how to blame @apnews.com for this. Google is playing man-in-the-middle and isn’t even providing traffic.
