Art therapist quoted by Vice and Forbes revealed as AI-generated
Original: Prominent art therapist quoted by Vice, Forbes and others is AI-generated
A widely quoted art therapist whose expert commentary appeared in outlets including Vice and Forbes has turned out to be an AI-generated persona rather than a real person. The case has sparked fresh concern about editorial verification standards in journalism and how easily fabricated experts can be cited as credible sources by major publications.
Why now: The revelation that reputable media outlets quoted a fabricated AI-generated expert raises urgent questions about journalistic fact-checking in the age of generative AI.
