Sports Illustrated Just Deleted Every Article by One of Its Writers After Accusation of AI Plagiarism

Sports Illustrated pulled a parlay-betting article after Sportico accused it of copying analysis without attribution and hinted AI may have been involved.

The outlet also removed the writer’s profile and archive, then said the piece came from an independent publisher that violated its rules.

The episode adds to scrutiny of Sports Illustrated’s content practices and renewed concerns about AI-assisted plagiarism in publishing.
