Sports Illustrated** created fake writers with their own profiles. This passage captures why the news stings so much. **In a maneuver right out of the damage control playbook, SI says it wasn't them and blames a subcontractor.

Text from the article: "Regardless, the AI content marks a staggering fall from grace for Sports Illustrated, which in past decades won numerous National Magazine Awards for its sports journalism and published work by literary giants ranging from William Faulkner to John Updike."

After 151 years, Popular Science will no longer offer a magazine
