[00:00.04]An American newspaper reporter
[00:03.08]has resigned from his job after it was discovered
[00:08.20]that he used an artificial intelligence (AI) tool
[00:13.52]to create false quotes for stories.
[00:17.80]Aaron Pelczar worked for the Cody Enterprise,
[00:22.68]a newspaper based in the town of Cody, Wyoming.
[00:26.96]A reporter from a competing newspaper
[00:30.80]became suspicious about Pelczar's stories
[00:35.32]and asked to meet with him.
[00:38.32]Pelczar admitted to using AI
[00:41.76]to create parts of stories.
[00:44.44]He later quit his position with the Enterprise.
[00:48.80]The reporter who discovered
[00:51.56]the AI-assisted stories was CJ Baker.
[00:56.24]He works for the Powell Tribune,
[00:59.40]a newspaper in the neighboring town of Powell.
[01:03.20]Baker told The Associated Press
[01:07.08]he discovered several writing examples
[01:10.44]that made him suspicious about Pelczar's work.
[01:14.72]He said some of the writing sounded
[01:17.92]unnatural or robotic.
[01:20.48]But one part of a story
[01:23.04]stood out as possibly being false.
[01:26.72]It was contained in a June 26 article
[01:31.20]about comedian Larry the Cable Guy
[01:34.44]being chosen to lead a local parade.
[01:38.20]The story ended with a very unusual line
[01:42.60]that had nothing to do
[01:44.04]with the story's subject.
[01:46.64]Rather, it seemed to provide an explanation
[01:50.68]of the method it used to build the story.
[01:54.32]The line read, "This structure ensures
[01:58.60]that the most critical information
[02:01.24]is presented first,
[02:03.56]making it easier for readers
[02:06.00]to grasp the main points quickly."
[02:09.40]Baker, who has been a reporter
[02:12.80]for more than 15 years,
[02:14.96]said after reading the story
[02:17.56]he decided to do additional research
[02:20.32]on other pieces written by Pelczar.
[02:24.72]He later decided to set up a meeting
[02:27.88]with Pelczar to discuss his concerns.
[02:31.44]He was able to meet with Pelczar
[02:34.40]and the editor of the Enterprise, Chris Bacon.
[02:39.08]Baker wrote an article in his own newspaper
[02:42.76]about his findings.
[02:45.12]He described his meeting with Pelczar
[02:48.32]and Bacon as uncomfortable, but friendly.
[02:52.96]Baker wrote that when asked
[02:55.68]about suspicions surrounding his work,
[02:59.20]Pelczar answered, "Obviously
[03:02.28]I've never intentionally tried to misquote anybody."
[03:07.00]When asked whether any of
[03:09.36]the disputed statements in his writings
[03:12.68]had been by created by an AI tool,
[03:15.72]Pelczar said, "That could be the case."
[03:19.60]Baker said Pelczar then added,
[03:22.96]"But again, if there are issues I will correct them
[03:27.24]and issue apologies and say they are misstatements."
[03:31.96]After closely examining Pelczar's articles,
[03:36.60]Bacon and the publisher of the Enterprise
[03:40.32]discovered the use of AI
[03:42.36]and apologized for his actions.
[03:45.96]In an editorial published recently,
[03:49.36]Enterprise Editor Chris Bacon admitted
[03:53.00]that he had "failed to catch"
[03:55.56]the AI-written copy and false quotes.
[03:59.40]He added that the mistake had permitted AI
[04:03.88]"to put words that were never spoken into stories."
[04:08.44]Bacon said the Enterprise discovered at least seven stories
[04:14.40]that included AI-created quotes.
[04:17.72]Two of the questioned stories included false quotes
[04:22.36]from Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon.
[04:25.52]Bacon said some of the quotes
[04:28.68]appeared "very believable."
[04:31.12]He noted that the people he spoke with
[04:34.16]during his investigation said the quotes
[04:37.60]sounded like something they might have said.
[04:41.12]But they never personally spoke to Pelczar.
[04:45.52]Other reporters have had their careers hurt or ended
[04:50.44]for making up facts or quotes in articles.
[04:54.72]There are also others
[04:56.72]who have been accused of plagiarism,
[04:59.52]which involves a reporter
[05:01.52]publishing the writings of others
[05:04.20]without giving those reporters credit for the material.
[05:08.64]But media experts say
[05:11.20]the recent incident involving Pelczar
[05:14.28]demonstrates the possible dangers that exist
[05:18.76]when reporters and editors depend on AI tools
[05:23.40]in the news production process.
[05:26.32]Megan Barton is publisher of the Cody Enterprise.
[05:31.32]She wrote an editorial that described AI
[05:35.96]as "the new, advanced form of plagiarism
[05:40.28]and in the field of media and writing."
[05:43.32]Barton noted the newspaper
[05:46.28]now has a system in place
[05:49.16]to recognize AI-generated stories
[05:52.56]and will "have longer conversations
[05:56.08]about how AI-generated stories
[05:59.36]are not acceptable."

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
