OH: Over half of LLM-written news summaries have ‘significant issues’—BBC analysis. “In an extensive report published this week, the BBC analyzed how four popular large language models used or abused information from BBC articles when answering questions about the news. The results found inaccuracies, misquotes, and/or misrepresentations of BBC content in a significant proportion of the tests, supporting the news organization’s conclusion that ‘AI assistants cannot currently be relied upon to provide accurate news, and they risk misleading the audience.'”

So AI isn’t really any worse than the Beeb is.
