This site uses AI to generate fake news articles

The website, a project by the AI development company Big Bird, is supposed to be a showcase of how the company's algorithms can help journalists quickly write compelling news, according to the website's "about" page. But despite the website's title, the realistic-enough articles aren't labeled as fake news or the marketing stunt that they are -- meaning their existence is more likely to make journalists pull out their hair than it is to help them. A quick scroll down the website's home page reveals a smattering of political, cultural, and scientific news stories. Aside from entertaining algorithmic errors, like the headlines "Iran's Stock Market: 'There's a Market,'" and "In wake of death of British soldier, thousands as for plastic-free pubs," the articles are mostly convincing. In fact, many appear to be closely based on actual news stories, like the resignation of UK finance minister Sajid Javid.
