Microsoft has removed an article that advised tourists to visit the “beautiful” Ottawa Food Bank on an empty stomach, after facing ridicule about the company’s reliance on artificial intelligence for news.
But an unnamed Microsoft spokesperson later blamed the article’s publication on “human error,” rather than “unsupervised AI.”
Published last week and titled “Headed to Ottawa? Here’s what you shouldn’t miss!” the article listed 15 must-see attractions for visitors to the capital.
I don’t see what’s wrong. Ottawa has little to recommend it.
