A series of mishaps at the media newsletter One Sheet, including misattributed information and made-up quotes, has raised questions about whether its use of AI to aggregate news is leading to hallucinations — and has led to the author’s suspension.
The media news site Mediaite built One Sheet to aggregate the growing list of media newsletters. For $8 a month, the newsletter adds commentary from author Colby Hall and promises cost savings for media super-users, who may be spending around $15 a month per subscription for media newsletters from Puck, Status, Breaker, and others.
But in the four months since its launch, Mediaite’s newsletter has grown increasingly error-prone, and has included a number of fake quotes and information attributed to different outlets and authors.
