“The New York Times has cut ties with a freelance journalist after discovering he used artificial intelligence to help write a book review that echoed elements of a review of the same book in the Guardian.”
- A freelance journalist recycled phrasing from a Guardian review for his own review of the same novel, including near-identical character descriptions and a closing paragraph.
- The journalist admitted using an AI tool that pulled from the Guardian piece without him catching it before filing. The NYT added an editor's note and cut ties.
