I kept digging into that AI company behind Sports Illustrated's fake writers. Turns out it's created tons more fake writers across the web, sometimes for surprisingly huge media clients. And then things get even wilder...

We found AdVon's fake authors at the LA Times, Us Weekly, and HollywoodLife, to name a few. AdVon's fake author network was particularly extensive at the McClatchy media network, where we found at least 14 fake authors at more than 20 of its papers, including the Miami Herald.

There's A LOT more in the article, but: it's hard not to feel at least a little paranoid as a consumer after doing this reporting. This is the kind of thing that chips away at the health of the digital world's information ecosystem -- not to mention our collective trust in it.

Earlier in our reporting, AdVon denied using AI to generate editorial content. But according to insiders we spoke to, this wasn't true -- and in fact, AdVon materials we obtained revealed that the company has its own designated AI text generator.
That AI has a name: MEL.

Multiple AdVon insiders alleged that writers were laid off during the company's mass AI transition (AdVon has denied this claim.) Even more dystopian: one former writer told us that they believe their AI feedback was used to train the model that would replace them.

In a MEL training video we obtained, an AdVon manager shows staffers how to create one of its lengthy buying guide posts using the AI writing platform. The article rings in at 1,800 words — but the only text that the manager writes herself is the four-word title.

Further confusing some ethical lines: AdVon's owners also appear to operate a second, closely-tied company called SellerRocket that allowed product sellers to pay-to-play for placement in AdVon's reviews. These paid placements were not disclosed to readers.

I love reading my dad’s emails. So many could have easily been just been texts but now I’m glad they weren’t. Also he would send us random science articles all the time and I would read them as long as I knew more than one word in the title
