Sometimes, the AI gets the little details wrong.

In school we always get an assignment to compare the same story in different newspapers. It was amazing to see them all have different details. And that was before the internet existed. So AI here isn't better, just cheaper.

Other times, the AI wholly fabricates events.

We call that Boris Johnson.

I mean, the AI is worse. It's literally impossible to not be worse, it would need a 100% accuracy to the sample data while also never hallucinating, that's pretty much completely impossible.
