Newzlet uses AI in producing its articles, and we think you have a right to know exactly how. This page describes that honestly.
What the AI does
We use large language models to help research topics and to produce a first draft of an article — gathering background, organising information, and writing initial copy. A substantial amount of the drafting is AI-assisted. We are not hiding that behind a fake human byline: our articles are published under the organisational byline Newzlet Editorial, not under an invented person.
What the human does
Our editorial standard is that a human editor reviews and verifies every article before it is published — checking claims against sources, correcting errors, cutting what can’t be supported, and deciding whether the piece is good enough to run. AI drafts; a person is accountable for what goes live.
Our earlier archive
We are being straight about this: a large part of our existing archive was produced with heavy automation and less human review than the standard above. We are reviewing and, where needed, rewriting that archive to meet it — and we have removed a large number of older, low-value pages rather than leave them up. Articles that have completed human review show a note at the top of the page. If one hasn’t, it hasn’t yet cleared that bar.
What AI does not do here
AI does not have the final say on publication, does not invent quotes or sources on our behalf without a human checking them, and is not presented to you as a human writer. If you ever find an article that reads as machine-generated and wrong, tell us at contact@newzlet.com and see our Corrections page.
