Title: Metacritic Will Kick Out Media Attempting To Submit AI Generated
Reviews

Link: https://games.slashdot.org/story/26/02/27/173...

An anonymous reader shares a report: While some see AI as a tool to be used,
its specific use and how it is deployed responsibly is being heavily debated
online across a wide range of industries. In terms of journalistic content,
and in this particular instance, reviews, review aggregator Metacritic has
taken a firm stance on content published and submitted to their platform,
that have been generated by artificial intelligence in some way. In a
statement by co-founder Marc Doyle, sent to Gamereactor, he says this:
"Metacritic has been a reputable review source for a quarter century and has
maintained a rigorous vetting process when adding new publications to our
slate of critics. However, in certain instances such as a publication being
sold or a writing staff having turned over, problems can arise such as
plagiarism, theft, or other forms of fraud including AI-generated reviews.
Metacritic's policy is to never include an AI-generated critic review on
Metacritic and if we discover that one has been posted, we'll remove it
immediately and sever ties with that publication indefinitely pending a
thorough investigation." So, what is this about specifically? Well, it's
probably a sound guess, that this pertains to Videogamer's review of Resident
Evil 9: Requiem, which was removed from the platform after a barrage of
comments accusing the review of being AI-written, and for the author of being
made up.
