What was fabricated

A direct quotation attributed to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was, per the Times' own editor's note, an AI-generated summary of his views that the AI tool rendered as a verbatim quotation. Poilievre never said the quoted words; the note stated the reporter "should have checked the accuracy of what the A.I. tool returned."

What happened as a result

An editor's note was appended and the fabricated quote replaced with an accurate quotation from an April speech; the NYT subsequently issued AI-use guidance to freelancers.
