Reform UK chairman apologises for sharing 'AI-generated' Press article
“It was shared without the realisation that it was an artificial, AI-generated forgery imitating the layout of The Press.”
What happened
The chairman of a local Reform UK branch in Yorkshire apologised after sharing an image made to look like a York Press article predicting his party would win council seats. The newspaper says nobody in its newsroom wrote it; the image drew more than 3,600 likes before it was taken down, and he says he did not realise it was AI-generated.
