Florida Trib reporter Kate Payne originally flagged its nonexistent reporters, which prompted Question Everything producer Zach St. Louis to embark on his own investigation in which he discovered five other fake outlets connected to the same source.

MIT officials say AI is eroding the university's unique, nerdy culture where students spent hours in study groups trying to figure out how to do their homework.

Expense Account uses food as an entry point into bigger conversations about restaurants, culture, taste and how it all relates to life and the world at large.
