171 According to Pompili, so far there has been only one occasion when Il Foglio management prevented the publication of an AI-generated article. She explained, “We asked about hate crimes in Europe and AI couldn’t find enough examples. “(5) .” Other “less invalidating” inaccuracies and mistakes were left in Il Foglio AI, and letters to the editor were generated by AI, which was also replying to them. Moreover, reviews were published on books “that AI had obviously not read,” she said. Il Foglio AI is being sold together with the traditional human-produced version of the newspaper for about a month. In the AI copy, every article is clearly labelled as AI-generated.

It doesn’t do it with human malice, but sometimes its answers are blatantly wrong.” Inaccuracies are not the only issues when using AI to generate content, Thomson said. “There’s no kind of primary contribution, you know, actually talking to people, getting new insights, getting new context, so it’s just recycling what we already have out there on the internet,” he said. “(8) .” There appears to be a consensus on how human contribution will always be necessary in journalism. Pompili said that “from day zero” of Il Foglio AI, it was clear that “going from 0 to 1 can only be achieved by the human mind and intelligence.” According to Thomson, “journalists and humans have lots of unique capabilities, talents, skills, the ability to empathise with people, the ability to show emotion, the ability to have judgement and value, which machines can’t replicate, at least not yet.” Attard shared a similar perspective. “AI can’t gain a feeling for the way people are reacting to situations,” she said. “(9) . A computer can’t do that.” 0123456789 D A AI sometimes lies B So, it started making some up C Her feelings on Il Foglio’s experiment are mixed D It contains no stories written, or edited, by humans E Things like plagiarism can still apply to AI-generated content F Now, those pages can be very, very dangerous G However, Attard said such disclaimers may not be enough H Journalists will be simply asking questions I Somebody has to actually elicit human emotional response J They’re really unsure; they suspect they have, but they don’t know K That’s not what the research shows at all L And the internet is already full of this kind of second-hand content Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
