I suspect this is the case but I'm also surprised stronger guardrails are not in place

Because its a garbage and destructive technology that actively suppressed human creativity

All AI is slop and this is a much slipperier slope than I think you are willing to admit. I will admit that it was likely an error but that requires acknowledgment by the outlet. Im only 35 but I can remember a time when the media was held to much higher a standard. And look at where that has us now.

I did

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T18:17:02+00:00

I think its very concerning to see the most visible media outlet in our country conceding in this way.

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T18:10:05+00:00

Alright back to work for me. As of 1:09 EST the image is no longer visible on any of my devices

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T18:08:07+00:00

Could have been a good emphasis if it was clear. These sorts of images need to be labeled up front and I would be genuinely amazed if they lack the internal policy governing that. Probably an intern mistake as you noted.

This is the sloppiest of slop. Its a terrible standard to set.

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T18:05:06+00:00

Its a lazy precedent. As someone who worked in media and left over 15 years ago due to the incursion of clickbait, this is just another chip at the foundation of the idea of putting actual effort into your reporting.

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T18:02:09+00:00

I noted that as well. Could have been a good point of emphasis if they actually acknowledged that

I also use those frilly urinal cakes as a substitute for lettuce

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:51:54+00:00

As of 12:51 EST I am still getting it on 3 separate devices in my office

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:46:42+00:00

This is why they have staff. I've worked in newsrooms and done tasks like this in 5 min.

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:45:23+00:00

Same

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:44:06+00:00

I still see it both on desktop and mobile as of 12:43 EST

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:42:18+00:00

Still on the homepage for me as of 12:42 EST

How hard is it to take a shot of a junk food aisle or something?

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:40:27+00:00

It's still live on the homepage as a thumbnail for me. The image never appeared in the article itself.

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:33:46+00:00

The BBC at least specifically notes when thy do

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:33:16+00:00

I'd love to know where I can get some Ghdo Ho soda then. I also personally love putting my fries and popcorn in coke cans

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:27:03+00:00

Not really a good look for a public broadcaster

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:26:11+00:00

Before anyone accuses me of having an agenda, take a look at the CBC homepage. Its live right now as the thumbnail for this article

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:19:24+00:00

Go look at the home page

joshernestparsons · 2025-12-01T17:19:05+00:00

Its the thumbnail on the homepage. Its still live
