In the hours that followed, the AI also claimed that tennis player Rafael Nadal had come out, completely false information.
The BBC is not the only one to pay the price for these errors.Many users report distorted notificationsbased on articles from the New York Times and other recognized media. These slip-ups multiply as the days go by, pushing editorial staff to request urgent fixes from Apple.
A solution in sight?
