How we made this:
GPT‑3 wrote text from prompts based on the 36 original headlines, along with additional fact boxes from related phrases. DALLĀ·E 2 produced images using a similar process. The fake ads use AI‑generated photos and slogans. New York weather data for the year 2001 was sourced from Visual Crossing Weather.
