News curation website Competition Policy International (CPI) this week ran two puzzling stories regarding the Competition Commission’s market inquiry into the South Africa. Both were datelined July 2013, and both featured industry reaction to the current inquiry.
However, a look at the stories, and a few minutes of research, discovered that the news curation website uses AI to search for, and edit, its stories.
In both cases, AI had taken these two stories from two different sources (Bloomberg and AllAfrica.com), conflated them with the current inquiry, and then edited them down to a puzzling mish-mash of truth and untruth.
All in all, a reassuring sign that AI, even at its best, can still not entirely replace a human being.
