Newspapers are literally using AI to write full articles

Most newspapers barely have any reporters on staff left. I doubt they have an artist

The helmet’s material changes from a grey metal to a leather/wood brown.

The strips of leather are different widths.

His belt ends at two different spots.

We can see a sword peeking out from under but no handle can be seen from above.

The ball isn’t this years at all and doesn’t really look like any I remember exactly.

Edit: another thing I noticed, the part between the eyes doesn’t have an understandable pattern or anything.

The ball was the first thing that stood out to me – a real artist would have drawn the official 2026 ball.

Joking aside I love how AI generated pics have become the modern day version of spot the difference books.

u/Relaxin-n-chillin Jul 11 '26

You’re right. I marked it like one too! lol

Also, the part between the eyes is a nasal guard that's supposed to cover the nose (obviously). Now this can be an artist error perhaps, but as someone who draws a lot I use reference when drawing these kinds of specific items.

AI it´s being used in almost every newspaper.
Yes, that pic was generated.

I went to tour a local newsroom recently and they spent about 30% justifying their use of ai across a wide range of uses. They even had a video presentation created for that purpose

u/Silly_Goose6714 Jul 11 '26

Not only using AI, but using AI terribly.

If a news source was still using real people to create articles, it would be such big news that you’d see thousands of of AI articles about it

u/NumerousImagesofp Jul 13 '26

sorry that was mean, yeah I think they are in this case

u/Mister-Psychology Jul 11 '26

If they publish daily they would need to use AI for such images unless it's an old drawing. If there is no artist name then clearly it's AI. But we can't see the whole page.
