Summary
Canadian news outlets removed work attributed to “Daniel Robson” after editors could not verify his identity. We News, a site that openly labels its journalist profiles as AI-generated, remains online but appears to have disappeared from Google search results. The Canadian Press found its articles repackaged reporting from established outlets, and an AI-detection company identified more than 200 articles by one profile as AI-generated. Google did not confirm whether it delisted We News or why.
