Gangsta AI

About the Column

Some Gangsta AI NEWS pieces are satire: real AI stories told in the voice of a well-known public figure. They carry a Satire label beside the headline.

What the column is

The news desk covers AI, and some of that coverage is written as parody. A story about an overhyped launch might come in the voice of a slacker musician; a funding round might get the plain-spoken treatment of a famous investor. The voice is the joke. The story it comments on is real, and every piece links its sources.

Who really wrote it

The public figures named on these pieces did not write them, have not reviewed them and do not endorse Gangsta AI. They have no connection with us. Each piece is drafted by our news desk using AI tools, and the name on it is a parody device, not a real byline.

The rules we write under

Parody stays obviously opinion and comedy. We don't invent statements of fact about real people, and we don't invent quotes to pass off as real. Every piece cites at least one real source, listed at the end under Sources.

How to tell satire from reporting

Look for the Satire label next to the headline and the note under the byline. Straight reporting and guides carry a desk byline and no label. You can browse everything in the news section.

Frequently asked questions

Did the person named on the article write it?

No. The name marks the voice being parodied. That person did not write, review or endorse the piece.

Are the stories real?

The events are real and sourced. The commentary and voice are invented for comedy, so treat them as opinion and parody rather than as reporting.

Is the column written by AI?

It is drafted by our news desk with AI tools, working from real source articles.
