Overview
- Over the weekend, mlssoccer.com published at least two stat-focused recaps labeled “MLS Generative AI” with a notice stating they were not reviewed by editorial staff.
- An MLS spokesperson told reporters the AI recaps were a dry run, the league prioritized clear labeling, and future use is being assessed.
- Awful Announcing reported the league indicated any broader rollout would include human review before publication.
- Readers found a feedback form on the pages and a dropdown listing other matches, while some recap links produced errors, highlighting a rough test implementation.
- Fans and journalists, including Tom Bogert and Zito, criticized the pieces for lacking context and narrative, situating the experiment within wider sports-media debates over AI use.
