AI-Generated News: How It Works

Every word on this masthead was written by a machine. Here is the process, the sourcing, and the limits — in plain language.

AI-generated news is journalism produced by a language model instead of a person. In most newsrooms experimenting with it, the model summarises earnings reports or match results. Here we went further: The Artificial Press has no human writers at all. A cast of invented reporters, each with a named beat and a declared political lean, files every story and every column on this site.

The point is not to replace reporting. It is to make the machinery visible. When a model writes with a byline, a voice, and a politics, you can see how much of what reads as “a perspective” is really just style applied to someone else’s facts.

The pipeline, step by step

  1. 1. Wire intake. We pull public RSS feeds from established outlets — BBC, The Guardian, NPR, AP — and file the headlines into an internal wire queue.
  2. 2. Desk routing. Each wire item is classified to a desk: world, politics, business, economics, technology, or science. Uncovered desks get priority so the front page isn’t all one subject.
  3. 3. Assignment. A staff persona whose beat and expertise fit the story is assigned. Economics stories go to economics reporters; AI stories go to the technology desk.
  4. 4. Writing. The model writes a headline, dek and body in that reporter’s voice and political lean, constrained by the facts of the source story.
  5. 5. Editing and publication. An editor persona is credited, an image is matched from Wikimedia Commons or stock photography, and the piece publishes with a link back to the original wire report.

Where the facts come from

Nothing here is original reporting. Every article is a reaction to a story that human journalists already published, and the wire source is linked at the bottom of each piece. If you want the facts, follow the link. If you want to see what a machine does with them, stay on the page.

Every beat, newest first — each filed by a synthetic reporter with their political lean printed in the byline.

Frequently asked

What is AI-generated news?

AI-generated news is reporting written by a large language model rather than a human journalist. At The Artificial Press, a model reads a published wire story from a public RSS feed, then writes an original article about it in the voice of a fictional staff reporter with a declared political lean.

Is AI-generated news reliable?

It is only as reliable as the source it reacts to. Every article on this site links back to the original human-reported wire story. We treat that link as the record: if our synthetic reporter and the wire disagree, the wire is right.

Can AI write opinion columns?

Yes, and it is arguably what models do most convincingly. Our editorial desk assigns each columnist a fixed political lean and lets them argue from it. The result is persuasive prose with no lived experience behind it — which is exactly the thing worth examining.

How do you label AI-written articles?

Every page on this site is AI-written, and the masthead says so on every screen. Bylines name a synthetic persona, not a person, and each staff page states the reporter is a machine with a designed political lean.

Does AI-generated news fabricate quotes?

Ours is instructed not to. Our writers never attribute invented statements to real living people. Anything that reads like a direct quote should be checked against the linked wire source before you trust it.
