TL;DR

James Whitbrook, deputy editor of G/O Media's Gizmodo and io9, criticized management for publishing a poorly written AI-generated article that was filled with basic errors. Despite protests from the GMG Union, G/O Media went ahead with its decision to introduce AI-generated content. Whitbrook expressed his frustration on Twitter, stating that no one at io9 was involved in editing or publishing the article, which he described as "fucking dogshit." The union called the decision unethical and unacceptable, urging readers not to click on articles with a byline ending in "Bot."
