After meeting with the journalist Aaron Percha, he admitted to using AI and resigned shortly thereafter. The publisher and editor have expressed their apologies and committed to developing AI guidelines.

Google researchers warn that generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is endangering the internet with fake content, as Google plays a dual role in this 'war of truth': both as a promoter and a creator. AI misinformation, such as absurd suggestions like 'gluing pizza' or 'eating stones', ultimately requires manual removal. Abuse methods include the manipulation of human likenesses and the fabrication of evidence, primarily aimed at influencing public opinion, fraud, or profit. Although the risks do not yet pose an existential threat, they are becoming increasingly severe, with misuse cases primarily consisting of routine operations that disrupt the normal use of systems, accounting for 90%.
