On Tuesday, The Guardian accused<\/a> Microsoft of damaging its journalistic reputation by publishing<\/a> an AI-generated poll beside one of its articles on the Microsoft Start website. The poll, created by an AI model on Microsoft’s news platform, speculated on the cause of a woman’s death, reportedly triggering reader anger and leading to reputational concerns for the news organization.<\/p>\n

“This has to be the most pathetic, disgusting poll I\u2019ve ever seen,” wrote one commenter on the story. The comment section has since been disabled.<\/p>\n

The poll appeared beside a republished Guardian<\/a> story about Lilie James, a 21-year-old water polo coach who was found dead with head injuries in Sydney. The AI-generated poll presented readers with three choices to speculate on the cause of James’ death: murder, accident, or suicide. Following negative reactions, the poll was removed, but critical comments remained visible for a time before their removal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
