The Onion used an AI-generated picture on a recent article, despite the paper's CEO Ben Collins recently promising that "we don't use AI."

    I mean good on them for being fully transparent about their mistake and fixing it. 1000x more respectable than any “real” news network.

    Not not the Onion… (surreal!)

    On a more serious note, that’s disappointing.

      Eh, sounds like they grabbed a stock photo to edit into the main image without seeing that it was AI. It’s not like they produced it despite their commitment not to, and they pulled it and apologized when it was pointed out.

      I don’t really feel disappointment that they picked the wrong stock photo.

        Yeah, that stock photo site is well-known for not reliably filtering out AI generated stock photos despite having a check box specifically for that purpose.
