Apparently, Sports Illustrated had been using AI and fake people to write articles for some time and no one knew about it, until now and this is crazy!

I think AI is a great tool that should be just that, a tool. But when we start using it to replace people and creative work, it becomes a massive problem.

This is going to end up being a massive problem.
