A freelance writer using the byline Victoria Goldiee had articles pulled by at least five publications, including The Guardian, Dwell, PS, Outrider, and the Journal of the Law Society of Scotland, after editors found fabricated quotes and invented sources that appeared to be AI-generated. People named as having been interviewed in the pieces said they had never spoken with the writer, and pitch emails showed patterns typical of AI-generated text. The writer’s true identity and location could not be confirmed by editors who investigated the case.
