"AI-generated" can make it sound as though someone typed a sentence into a machine and came back five minutes later to find a finished movie. Fairground's catalog shows why that description can be too simple. Take Lost Garden: The Awakening of the Lantern Knight. According to its Fairground page, creator Frank Houbre wrote the world, characters, mythology, emotional arc and screenplay himself. AI tools were used mainly for animation and visual production, with other tools helping create voices and music before the episode was assembled in conventional video-editing software.

'Scary': how misinformation and AI hallucinations are infiltrating Australia's parliament Mon 31 Aug 2026 11.00 EDTLast modified on Mon 31 Aug 2026 11.02 EDT Australia's government inquiry process is supposed to help parliament make better decisions, hearing from experts and constituents alike. But Guardian Australia can reveal that the system is being flooded with AI-generated material, which is inventing studies and attributing nonexistent research to real academics and authors. In some cases, committee reports have cited submissions in which the majority of sources appear to be AI-generated "hallucinations", when large language models (LLMs) invent content that looks real but doesn't actually exist.

Australia's music charts ban AI-made songs amid backlash over Madonna cover Share Australia's music charts ban AI-made songs amid backlash over Madonna cover on social media Australia's official music charts have banned tracks mostly created by artificial intelligence (AI) following a backlash over a cover of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" that relied heavily on the burgeoning technology. "Wholly AI-generated" music will be excluded from the charts under the changes, while tracks that use AI in a "supporting role" will still be eligible, the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) said on Tuesday. ARIA said it would rely on a labelling system introduced by music industry groups last month to distinguish AI-generated tracks from those that use AI to complement human creativity. Under the labelling rules announced by a coalition of organisations including the Recording Industry Association of America, tracks may be labelled "AI-Generated" or "AI-Assisted" depending on the level of human involvement in the writing and recording process. Tracks are classed as "AI-Generated" if AI was used to create the "entirety or the primary portion of the creative elements of the recording" and "AI-Assisted" if the technology was used only for "some expressive elements".

Image caption, The changes are being introduced to give listeners more transparency about what they're hearing, Spotify says Spotify is introducing a new feature that will highlight if an artist has been generated by artificial intelligence (AI). The streaming service says the AI Persona badge, that will start appearing on some profiles from mid-September, will flag to listeners if an artist's identity may be AI-generated and does not represent a real person. The changes are being introduced to give listeners more transparency about what they're hearing, Spotify says. It comes after some music fans made it clear to the streamer they don't like seeing a profile that seems to be a human, to then realise it's AI-generated. AI-generated music has long been a concern for users of the platform.

Jamir Nazir, the controversial winner of the Commonwealth award, tells his side of the story. Jamir Nazir has become the face of the AI-writing crisis. In May, the largely unknown 62-year-old Trinidadian writer was named a regional winner of the prestigious Commonwealth Prize for his short story " The Serpent in the Grove " But after it was published in the literary magazine, signs began to emerge that the story--about a cocoa farmer who cheated on his wife, and then tried to kill her--may have been AI-generated. Inscrutable lines plucked from Nazir's dense prose were mocked and memed. A young woman in the story "had the kind of walking that made benches become men."

How Much of Data-Center Activism Is Really AI Slop? Anti-AI sentiment is genuine, but its online expression looks stranger and stranger. Americans are wary of AI in general, and they are especially suspicious of the AI data centers that are popping up across the country like enormous mushrooms. A majority do not want a new data center built in their town. Across the country, community groups have organized to protest individual projects, and activists have successfully lobbied local and state politicians to place moratoriums on the facilities' construction.

AI-detection tools are getting better. Basically every recent, high-profile accusation of someone passing off AI-generated writing as their own has started in the same way: with a tool called Pangram. In March, when a horror novel from a major publishing house was pulled just days before its scheduled U.S. release date, it was in part because Pangram, an AI-detection program, had identified the text as AI-generated. Other people have fed text into Pangram to suggest that chatbots have been used to write articles in major newspapers including, multiple short stories awarded a prestigious literary prize, and most recently, significant chunks of Pope Leo XIV's encyclical warning about the dangers of AI. The tool is also used by universities to vet student work and scientific associations to scan research papers.
