How to use AI-generated article versions responsibly
AI can make an article easier to enter. It cannot turn a generated version into the original reporting.
Start with the right expectation
A generated version can be a helpful reading aid: it can reorganise information, explain terms or make a dense story feel less intimidating. It may also lose context, shift emphasis or make a factual mistake. That is why source access is a product feature, not an afterthought.
Compare the details that carry meaning
Check figures, dates, direct quotes, names and attribution. Then check the words that show uncertainty or scope: terms such as “may,” “according to,” “early findings,” or “in this case.” Small qualifiers can change how a story should be understood.
Use a generated version to ask better questions
A useful shift should help you notice what to investigate next. If a summary gives you a conclusion, ask what evidence the original article provides. If a simplified explanation gives you a cause, look for the reporting that supports it and any alternative views.
A simple source-check routine
- Read the generated version for orientation.
- Open the original source before sharing or acting on an important claim.
- Check exact figures, quote attribution and context.
- Use the source—not the generated version—for high-stakes decisions.
