Specific errors included incorrect statements about NHS vaping guidance, a misrepresentation of a crime victim's discovery timeline, and factual inaccuracies concerning notable individuals. These findings underscore the challenges of relying on AI for accurate news dissemination.
The testing revealed that over half of the AI-generated responses contained significant inaccuracies, with factual errors affecting 19% of the answers.
