More than nine years ago, Michael Schumacher had a serious skiing accident in the French Alps. Since this tragic event, the former Formula 1 pilot has been away from the public eye, which the journalists of the German newspaper “Die Aktuelle” used as an opportunity to conduct a scandalous “exclusive” interview with the seven-time world champion.
Although no one knows Schumacher’s real condition, as his family protects his privacy, what caught the attention was the headline in bold letters on the cover of Die Aktuell magazine:
So behind this whole interview, there is a fake conversation, in which the editors of the magazine “Die Aktuell” formulated the answers to the interview questions with artificial intelligence.
As a small indication that the interview is fake, under the highlighted title in small letters is the addition “Sounds real scam”.
During the fake interview, Schumacher finally answers whether he will return to the public in the future and how his health is.
The artificial intelligence replied that Schumi “can stay with the help of the closest people and that without the support of his family, he would not have survived so many difficult years”.
“This is really unacceptable”, wrote revolted readers on social networks, and many journalist colleagues were not absent either, who severely criticized the scandalous move of the German magazine.
“The world would be a better place without ‘Die Aktuell,'” tweeted German media expert Boris Rosenkranz, founder of Übermedien.
