This would be an improvement in my book.

I'm a data journalist, and I use AI in some of my work (data processing, classification, OCR, etc.). I always disclose it in a "Methodology" section in the story. I wouldn't trust any reporting that didn't disclose the use of AI, and if an outlet slapped a disclaimer on their entire site, I wouldn't trust that outlet.





So every time a reporter researches something and does a Google search and Gemini results pop up now AI use has to be added to the methodology section and basically 100% of all articles have the "AI use" label attached.

Yes because it would tell me immediately that the reporter can be safely ignored.

Yes, just the same as I would expect an encyclopedia reference called out for not being a primary source of a declared fact.

If they use the information from the AI summary without checking, then definitely, they'd be a rubbish reporter.
