In the wave of AI controversies and lawsuits, CNET has been publicly admonished since it first started posting thinly-veiled AI-generated content on its site in late 2022— a scandal that has culminated in the site being demoted from Trusted to Untrusted Sources on Wikipedia.

Considering that CNET has been in the business since 1994 and maintained a top-tier reputation on Wikipedia up until late 2020, this change came after lots of debate between Wikipedia’s editors and has drawn the attention of many in the media, including some CNET staff members.

    Yeah just like how reddit /worldnews is a partial source that is definitely not moderated by Zionists.

    You cannot fix these rotten orgs from the inside. Wikipedia is good for maths and science. Not for geopolitics.

      there is no recourse for r/worldnews moderation, but i assure you, you can (and should) fix erroneous articles on wikipedia.
