Recently, the misinformation monitor NewsGuard has discovered that some content farms are utilizing AI chatbots to republish thousands of news stories from mainstream publications, including The New York Times, through a process known as "content laundering" to earn advertising revenue. These websites that launder content appear to be fully automated, with no human involvement. Traditional news publishers are struggling to cope with the impact of AI on the news industry, and some are considering taking legal action against AI companies.
