AI Still Struggles with News and Hiring

[bonk]

A study by the BBC and European Broadcasting Union found ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity frequently fail at news reporting: 45% of answers had major issues, 31% were sourced incorrectly, and 20% included hallucinated or outdated information.

Meanwhile, Freelancer.com research shows AI-generated cover letters are misleading employers. Skilled candidates are being hired 19% less often, while lower-skilled applicants are being favored, undermining the traditional purpose of cover letters.
