A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

They ai-generated the articles, they ai-generated the author photos, couldn't they ai-generate some bullshit author name?
I think they use the same name, for their credibility. Edit: Names also help for search results and listings of other work from same author.
Even if the writer signed off on this, this should be illegal.
Actually make every AI generated poop have to list their sources. Corps wanted strong copyright laws, here it is.
I had an idea for a website that basically did that with "thisfacedoesnotexist" except it was a way for people to submit Onion style articles and have it feel like a news site (since the Onion doesn't take submissions).
But, for humor, and obviously not using people's actual names.
This idea seems like a quick way to be sued for defamation.
