German publisher sacks editor over 'tasteless' Michael Schumacher AI chatbot interview

Funke magazines has also apologised to the Schumacher family over the "tasteless" article it says never should have been published.

Formula 1 fans were after the German magazine said it had a world exclusive interview with Schumacher – but the quotes all came from AI. Schumacher, the joint most successful F1 driver in history, has not been seen in public since suffering a brain injury in 2013 and being put into a coma. The article says it was carried out by a chatbot called Character.ai and has not spoken to the racer or his family.
