Gossip is presented as gossip, fake news a news (or in this case facts).

(I read the article twice, the website being unknown to me I thought it was fake news, and it still seems weird to me that MSN uses AI generated content, otoh why not, the mess MSN forces on me in windows has been distopian for years, and the mentioned article appears on MSN. Sad times that these days I'm sceptical of anything. I honestly feel this is one of the biggest dangers of our times, the ease with which populations can be influenced and truth is just a matter of alternative facts, the common argument is that it is of all times but that neglects how much easier, more sophisticated, and larger the reach is)

If there's any doubt about the authenticity of Futurism, you can click through and read the MSN "articles" for yourself. It's definitely real!

I do think there's some confusion here over exactly what's happening. MSN's AI isn't generating entire articles like GPT-3; it's just using AI to curate articles for republication from across the web, but accidentally (or perhaps intentionally, in a sort of wink-wink situation for clickbait traffic) selecting ones that are clearly fake news (including literal stuff about mermaids and bigfoot.)

Ah yes, with all the GPT3 news I thought MSN was using it. Thank for correcting that assumption. Doesn't make the situation any better of course, it's just that MSN forwarding anything unfortunately is no news to me.
