Also, AI may not be as smart as we think, despite what its name suggests.
Yes, it can write text quickly, something that might take a group of people a long time.
But, AI can’t truly think like us humans.
It checks facts using its own store data and the internet, and so can be trick into believing false information.

If this is use in an article, it could spread incorrect information.
There are already examples of AI-generate news articles that have inaccurate or misleading.
So, it is important to note that these tools are still in their early stages of development.
It is possible that as they become more sophisticate, they will be able to produce more accurate and reliable content.
