ICYMI: Australia's award-winning science magazine Cosmos has recently published AI-generated science 'explainers' that make use of freelance contributors' content without their consent, AND did so with funding from the Walkley Foundation-administered Meta Australian News Fund (which was supposed to support and encourage journalism, not kill it).
This comes after half their staff were laid off – including national and international journalism award-winners – when the magazine was sold to CSIRO.
