AI is capable of producing text, images and audio with little to no human intervention. Major media outlets have automated news production with the aid of generative AI algorithms. Recent studies have examined whether people believe AI-generated news stories or trust AI-generated medical diagnoses, and found that people are mostly sceptical of AI. People are more likely to distrust AI if it makes a mistake than an individual human, as humans can be forgiven for being fallible, whereas machines cannot.
