Summary
AI-generated reporters at We News, including Quebec correspondent “Geneviève Tremblay,” were sending error messages when The Canadian Press tried to question them by chat on Friday. Tremblay had appeared to publish multiple stories a day, but the exchange raised questions about whether the outlet’s named journalists are people or AI-generated.
