☆ Gannett to pause AI experiment after botched high school sports articles

New York CNN —Newspaper chain Gannett has paused the use of an artificial intelligence tool to write high school sports dispatches after the technology made several major flubs in articles in at least one of its papers. Several high school sports reports written by an AI service called LedeAI and published by the Columbus Dispatch earlier this month went viral on social media this week — and not in a good way. Many of the reports feature identical language, describing “high school football action,” noting when one team “took victory away from” another and describing “cruise-control” wins. Gannett has paused its experiment with LedeAI in all of its local markets that had been using the service, according to the company. CNET earlier this year also paused an experiment using AI to write stories after it was forced to issue multiple corrections on AI-generated reports.

Trump will not commit to supporting the 2024 GOP nominee. Trump told Nikki Haley she should run for president if she wanted to, but called her "overly ambitious." Trump is the only 2024 candidate to have declared that he's running for president, though former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley is expected to be next. "I don't want to say," Trump said. Hewitt on Thursday pressed Trump repeatedly about what his nicknames would be for potential 2024 challengers, but the former president wouldn't share them.

Материнская компания Google и французская ассоциация издателей подписали соглашения об авторских правах, согласно которым компания будет платить за контент СМИ, используемый в своих сервисах, пишет Reuters. Уже несколько лет медиакомпании критиковали Google за использование контента и отказ выплачивать вознаграждения авторам, писало Bloomberg в июне 2020 года. В 2014 году из-за требования платить издателям контента Google закрыла отделение News в Испании. В компании заявили, что сервисы вроде Google News привлекают трафик на сайты СМИ и таким образом помогают им зарабатывать. В 2019 году Apple в США представила сервис для чтения статей разных журналов в приложении Apple News.
