Gizmodo Staff Furious After Site Announces Move to AI Content

G/O Media is starting "modest testing" of AI content on its sites. The company joins a growing number of media companies experimenting with the technology. The trials resulted in a flood of buggy and plagiarized content due to inappropriate AI models. The move to AI content preceded mass layoffs at CNET and BuzzFeed. G/O Media journalists express outrage and frustration at the use of AI. Unions and G/O Media employees are shocked by the news and believe that AI cannot replace the work of journalists. G/O Media has a bad reputation in the industry, which may be due to the use of AI.
