I made The Synthetic Standard – AI generated news stories

I was curious what AI generated news would look like. The Synthetic Standard finds real news and then generatively writes articles as well as images. One of my favorite things so far has been the images: often times they are hilarious depictions similar to a political cartoon.

I made The Synthetic Standard – AI generated news stories launched on April 20, 2023 with 10 votes, #1,716 of 4,853 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

The Synthetic Standard is a news platform that takes real news stories and uses AI to generate both written articles and accompanying images about them. The images often resemble political cartoons with humorous interpretations of actual events. The tool is designed for people curious about how AI might reimagine news reporting and visual commentary. It demonstrates both the creative potential and unusual outputs of generative AI applied to journalism.

    Hey HN! Author of the site here. I tried a few tricks to keep the text-generation part of the site up, but even leaning hard on Huggingface's API and bumping time-outs up, it looks like the site is struggling a bit. I'm going to see if there's anything I can do to keep the text-generation part available, but in the meantime, the pre-generated set should stay pretty stable. Not sure if there's much else I can do without burning a hole in my cloud bills — sorry for the troubles! I've put up a more detailed description of how this works on the GitHub -…
