CNET is laying off 10% of its staff, weeks after reports of it using AI to write articles — but it says the 2 things aren't linked
"We identified additional stories that required correction, with a small number requiring substantial correction and several stories with minor issues such as incomplete company names, transposed numbers or language that our senior editors viewed as vague," CNET's editor-in-chief Connie Guglielmo said in a note on its website.
The company said it would stop using AI to generate articles in a staff call in January. But in February, Futurism reported that it was preparing to use the AI tool again. According to a blog post that was viewed by The Verge and shared internally this week, Guglielmo will step down as editor-in-chief of CNET to become vice president of AI content strategy.
She will be working on machine-learning strategies across Red Ventures. Red Ventures also owns The Points Guy, Healthline, and Bankrate. Subscribe to push notifications
