Gizmodo Fires Spanish-Speaking Staff, Replaces Them With AI That Immediately Starts Making Sloppy Mistakes

Sep 07, 2023 - futurism.com
G/O Media, the owner of Gizmodo, has replaced the human staff of its Spanish-language site, Gizmodo en Español, with an AI-powered translation tool. The AI tool has been criticized for making several errors, including incomplete translations, formatting issues, and improper placement of in-text links.

Despite previous backlash for using AI-generated content on its flagship sites, G/O Media has continued to use AI tools, seemingly without addressing the foundational issues. The company has not responded to requests for comment on the matter, and it appears there is a lack of human oversight in their new automated system.

Key takeaways:

  • G/O Media, the owner of Gizmodo, has replaced the human staff of Gizmodo en Español with an AI-powered translation tool.
  • The AI tool has been making glaring mistakes in translation, formatting, and punctuation, and even included HTML code in the text.
  • Despite these errors, there appears to be little to no human oversight of the AI-generated content.
  • This is not G/O Media's first attempt at AI-generated content, with previous efforts also resulting in poor quality and grammatical errors.
