Cool, so not only are news outlets outsourcing most of their work to people on Twitter, now they’re deferring to AI. Let’s hope it doesn’t hallucinate! Not like we don’t already have a problem with fake and inaccurate news…
From the article:
Ask Perplexity, an AI answer engine, responded to Krassenstein’s post on X: "Based on the available information, it’s not accurate to directly blame Donald Trump for this specific incident. The missile strike on Kryvyi Rih appears to have occurred, but the connection to Trump’s actions is speculative.
“While the Trump administration has paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine, this decision was made very recently and its impact on this particular event is unclear. It’s important to note that Russia has been conducting missile strikes throughout the conflict, and attributing any single attack to a change in U.S. policy would be an oversimplification of a complex situation.”

Wow, world class reporting.
Ya, I don’t get the point of including an AI response in the “What People Are Saying” section of a news article.
The “news” site is probably owned by some company that went long on AI and needs to make that bad bet seem smart
Before everyone who hasn’t already figured out that they flushed all their money away figures out that they flushed all their money away.
