Sports Illustrated has been posting AI-generated content by what appear to be fake profiles without disclosing their nature, according to a new report by the science and technology site Futurism.

When Futurism contacted Sports Illustrated publisher The Arena Group, the AI-generated authors disappeared from the website, Futurism wrote. In a statement, The Arena Group said the articles were licensed content from a third party company called AdVon Commerce, and said they were assured the authors were humans.

“The articles in question were product reviews and were licensed content from an external, third-party company, AdVon Commerce. A number of AdVon’s e-commerce articles ran on certain Arena websites.
