Quartz has been quietly publishing AI-generated news articles | TechCrunch
Briefly

Quartz has launched an experimental AI newsroom that aggregates reporting from various media outlets to create short articles. They began with simple earnings reports and expanded to approximately 400-word articles. Although meant to relieve editorial staff for more in-depth reporting, the approach raises concerns about quality, as the AI-generated articles lack direct quotations and detailed attribution. A spokesperson for Quartz confirmed its experimental nature but refrained from disclosing the AI tools used. Previous articles sourced have reportedly been improperly summarized, resulting in inaccuracy.
Each of Quartz's AI-generated articles is roughly 400 words in length, and includes no full quotes from sources.
A spokesperson for Quartz corporate parent G/O Media confirmed to TechCrunch the existence of a 'purely experimental' AI newsroom.
