&gt; But on closer inspection you may be on a knock-off called “BBCSportss,” and the copy has been lifted from Sports Illustrated.<p>Sports Illustrated was caught using AI writers. Maybe they don&#x27;t want anyone to look too closely at the work BBCSportss stole.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pbs.org&#x2F;newshour&#x2F;economy&#x2F;sports-illustrated-found-publishing-ai-generated-stories-photos-and-authors" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pbs.org&#x2F;newshour&#x2F;economy&#x2F;sports-illustrated-foun...</a><p>Traditional journalism, despite the cheap social media fodder criticizing it, had high integrity. But I think that cheap online fodder helped make journalism untenable and distorted outside owners&#x27; view of it and value of it. That seems to have dragged it down to now, where these busisnesses destroy the integrity - including at Sports Illustrated, the Washington Post, the LA Times, etc.<p>Fox News also changed, for the worse, expectations of what leading news outlets could be.
