CNET Has Been Quietly Publishing AI-Written Articles for Months

“The article said ChatGPT isn’t coming for journalists’ jobs just yet, but the very publication that ran Ryan’s article has been quietly publishing articles written by AI since November, according to Futurism and online marketer Gael Breton. The AI-written CNET articles bear the byline CNET Money Staff which is identified on the outlet’s website as ‘AI Content published under this author byline is generated using automation technology.’

CNET responded in a linked statement via email, saying the Money editorial team was trying out the technology ‘to see if there’s a pragmatic use case for an AI assist on basic explainers around financial services topics.'”
