Can you believe this shit? As reported by 404 Media the scumbags used a byline of a previous and well-known writer, Christina Warren, for AI generated content.

The real Christina Warren hasn’t been writing these new posts on the zombie TUAW, however. The site’s new owners have stolen her identity, replaced her photo with an AI-generated one, and have been publishing what appear to be AI-generated articles under her byline.

The shitheads who bought TUAW have apparently already taken this down1 but oh my lord. The audacity of these people. Outrageous.

(This is shocking and appalling but it made me wonder if AI could resurrect John Siracusa of yore to write a review for macOS Sequoia this fall. Obviously I would not want it to happen like this.)
