“Ai-generated” “News content” fucking hell.
Yes ai needs a label to mark it.
Also news footage needs a label to mark authenticity (clicking on the logo of media should direct you to original source to confirm authorship and authenticity)
But those two should never ever mix. Ai generated news is fake news and any respectable journalist should stay far from it.
A lot of "journalism" involves smaller publications paraphrasing and rewriting a larger publications primary article (e.g, your local TV news publishes a story originally reported by Reuters). I could sure see AI being used for those tasks, but it definitely has to be fully reviewed and approved before ever ever getting published.
They should use "artificially generated" rather than "AI generated"
