The AI system was always faster than human writers at generating stories, the company found, but editing its work took much longer than editing a real staffer’s copy. The tool also had a tendency to write sentences that sounded plausible but were incorrect, and it was known to plagiarize language from the sources it was trained on.

I love hearing about AI biting companies in the ass. The more spectacular failures we have, the sooner people will shut up about it.
