Metacritic Will Kick Out Media Attempting To Submit AI Generated Reviews
Source: Slashdot
Background
An anonymous reader reports that the use of AI in journalism, especially for reviews, is a hotly debated topic across many industries. Review aggregator Metacritic has taken a firm stance against publishing any content that has been generated by artificial intelligence.
Metacritic’s Policy
In a statement to Gamereactor, co‑founder Marc Doyle said:
“Metacritic has been a reputable review source for a quarter century and has maintained a rigorous vetting process when adding new publications to our slate of critics. However, in certain instances such as a publication being sold or a writing staff having turned over, problems can arise such as plagiarism, theft, or other forms of fraud including AI‑generated reviews. Metacritic’s policy is to never include an AI‑generated critic review on Metacritic and if we discover that one has been posted, we’ll remove it immediately and sever ties with that publication indefinitely pending a thorough investigation.”
Specific Incident
The policy appears to have been applied to Videogamer’s review of Resident Evil 9: Requiem. The review was removed from Metacritic after a flood of comments accused it of being AI‑written and claimed the author was fabricated.
