After futurism

The Sports Illustrated: Sports Illustrated (SI), an American sports magazine, has published articles on its website under fake author names with AI-generated headshots, media report said.

The report published by Futurism on Monday provided evidence that the images of several authors listed on Sports Illustrated’s website were available for purchase on a website that sells AI-generated headshots.

For instance, the bio of a writer on Sports Illustrated’s website named ‘Drew Ortiz’ said, "Nowadays, there is rarely a weekend that goes by where Drew isn’t out camping, hiking, or just back on his parents’ farm". According to the report, the photo of ‘Drew Ortiz’ as it appeared on the Sports Illustrated’s website was available on an AI-generated image website with the description "neutral white young-adult male with short brown hair and blue eyes".
