This source in a nutshell: Business Insider is considered

generally unreliable. See § Summary.

Business Insider is a source that has been repeatedly discussed at the Reliable sources noticeboard. This page collects and links information about previous discussions and current consensus, and summarizes it here for convenience.

Summary

Consistent with several recent decisions our community has made about LLM-generated writing, consensus here is that Wikipedians don't trust it at all. Business Insider claims that humans will review the LLM-generated content, but Wikipedians are remarkably cynical about this. Consensus is that anything published with a disclosure about "Business Insider AI" is (a) generally unreliable and (b) not an indicator of notability at AFD.
