By Liam Reilly | CNNSports Illustrated on Monday said it had deleted several articles from its website after a report found the once-celebrated legacy magazine had published the pieces under fake author names and profile images generated by artificial intelligence. The report, which was published by Futurism, found that the magazine had repeatedly published articles whose authors could not be found online outside the Sports Illustrated website. The articles were all accompanied by AI-generated profile photos that Futurism also found for sale on digital marketplaces that sell AI-produced headshots. “We deplore being associated with something so disrespectful to our readers.”Sports Illustrated writers also reacted with disgust in social media posts. For instance, the Online News Association has published a practical guide for newsrooms to navigate the technology.
