SI caught posting AI as humans

Today, an article was published alleging that Sports Illustrated published AI-generated articles. According to our initial investigation, this is not accurate.
The articles in question were product reviews and were licensed content from an external, third-party company, AdVon Commerce. A number of AdVon's e-commerce articles ran on certain Arena websites. We continually monitor our partners and were in the midst of a review when these allegations were raised.
AdVon has ashured us that all of the articles in question were written and edited by humans. According to AdVon, their writers, editors, and researchers create and curate content and follow a policy that involves using both counter-plagiarism and counter-AI software on all content. However, we have learned that AdVon had writers use a pen or pseudo name in certain articles to protect author privacy – actions we strongly condemn – and we are removing the content while our internal investigation continues and have since ended the partnership.

A Capt. Renault non-denial denial.

Once again pointing out the problems with "advertorial" material which is not unmistakably differentiated from editorial content.
Something we used to worry about in the olden days.
 
Today SI said they severed their relationship with the third party.
 
Next we'll find out the swimsuit models aren't all original equipment.

Additional fingers are not really anything anyone gives a hoot about in a swimsuit edition.

See, that't the disadvantage of AI, AI was never a horny teenager going through puberty, so how would it know?
