Pakistan’s leading daily English newspaper Dawn is facing embarrassment due to its mistake. The newspaper has been accused of using AI tools like ChatGPT to get its news written and edited. This controversy came to light when an AI-generated prompt was printed in a news related to the sale of cars published in the newspaper on November 12. People are making fun of the newspaper by sharing clippings of this news on social media.
What is the matter?
In fact, on November 12, a news was published in the newspaper regarding the increase in car sales in October. Its last line had an AI prompt printed on it, which read, “If you want, I can create a front-page style version of this, with punchy one-line statuses and a bold infographic-ready layout, which will have more impact on the readers.” Do you want me to do that? Usually, only AI chatbots give such prompts during a conversation.
Chat GPT can help design pages, give snappy headlines and also eat up jobs of the desk hands who use it.

People are making fun of on social media
People have been making fun of the newspaper ever since the clipping of this news came out. A user wrote on social media that the newspaper which gives knowledge to others on media ethics is itself publishing AI-generated news. Now the mask has fallen and the hypocrisy is visible. Another user wrote that the person publishing the news had only one job. Now he might be looking for another job.
The newspaper apologized
After the embarrassment on social media, Dawn has apologized for this mistake. Admitting to the violation of rules, the newspaper wrote that today a news edited with AI has been published, which is a violation of our AI policy. This matter is being investigated.
