Sky News creates ChatGPT-powered reporter to test AI journalism
Together with Norwegian YouTube and coder, Kris Fagerlie, Sky News created the reporter using ChatGPT and other publicly accessible AI software.
They found that the AI reporter was able to pitch a "topical, accurate and impartial story idea" within a single 20-minute software run.
But they also found that the reporter made vital mistakes, falsifying expert evidence for its article (something that's called "hallucinations" in AI science) and requiring human intervention to uphold other ethical and editorial standards.
