What we witnessed was not journalism but the choreography of propaganda.
CBS, in particular, offered thirty uninterrupted minutes of state-sanctioned fantasy,
anchored by a fawning interview with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth,

The headline should be: ❝AI vendor’s AI-generated analysis claims AI generated reviews for AI-generated papers at AI conference❞
To be clear, I give great credence to the claims of the humans in the article who thought they’d received an AI-generated review. I bet •they’re• correct. It’s Nature I’m coming after here.

Note that the headline treats this product’s output as established fact:
❝Major AI conference flooded with peer reviews written fully by AI❞
They didn’t even have the journalistic decency to append “claims AI detection company.” Note the passive voice in the sub-headline:
❝Controversy has erupted after 21% of manuscript reviews for an international AI conference were found to be generated by artificial intelligence.❞
“were found”…by whom? Nobody. It’s just a magic fact.
