Gannett, the largest newspaper group in the United States, has suspended the use of AI to generate sports reports because of poor robot writing.

CTOnews.com, September 1 (Xinhua)-- according to the Washington Post, a spokesman for Gannett has now confirmed that US newspaper giant Gannett has suspended using AI to write articles.

CTOnews.com learned that Gannett, the largest newspaper group in the United States, with hundreds of local newspapers, has been experimenting with using LedeAI, an AI-driven sports writing tool, to write articles. However, readers generally point out that the articles generated by the company using AI are "lack of detail" and read as if "the author knows nothing about the relevant sports games."

Foreign media claimed that the news generated by LedeAI was quite poor. When reporting a football match in Ohio, the AI called the "football match"close contact of the type of sport", while when introducing the winner of a high school football match, the AI said the winner was "dressed for victory."

In addition, foreign media also found that the AI made an obvious "placeholder error":

The Worthington Christians [[WINNING_TEAM_MASCOT]] beat Westville North 2-1 in the men's football match in Ohio on Saturday [[LOSING_TEAM_MASCOT]].
