Australian Community Media Will Not Take Action Against In-House Lawyer Implicated in Creation of Misleading Websites
Key Points:
- Lawyer James Raptis, who works for Australian Community Media, has been implicated in the creation of four websites that published articles using copy taken from legitimate news outlets.
- The websites, called League Initiative, F1 Initiative, Surf Initiative, and AliaVera, utilized generative AI to disguise the poor-quality articles as original content.
- No action will be taken against Raptis, as he claims the sites were “operated by another person without any involvement or oversight” from him.
Final Thoughts:
It’s a bit ironic that an in-house lawyer would be involved in creating misleading websites, but let’s give James Raptis the benefit of the doubt for now. It’s unclear how these websites were able to publish articles without any oversight from Raptis, but perhaps there’s more to the story. Nonetheless, this incident highlights the potential dangers and pitfalls of AI-generated content and the need for stricter regulations to prevent the spread of fake news.

Prompt: Impressionism: A vibrant and colorful painting depicting an AI robot pirate sailing across a tumultuous sea, with swirling waves and billowing clouds in the background. The pirate’s metallic body reflects the warm hues of the setting sun, while the sails of the ship display intricate brushstrokes, capturing the dynamic movement of the wind. The title “No Action Taken” is written in elegant cursive script, adding a touch of mystery to the image.
