The backlash was immediate, but it didn’t stop the BBC from using text generated by LLMs—and purportedly checked and copy-edited by a human before approval—in two marketing emails and mobile push notifications to advertise Doctor Who. But now, the corporation will stop the experimentation entirely after a wave of official complaints pushed them to offer a response to concerned audiences.

Given how bad the show's writing has been for years and the declining in viewership in the Chibnell era, I'm actually surprised the BBC actually reversed course for once.
