There is a general consensus that at least some articles by ''Sports Illustrated'' post-acquisition by [[Maven Networks]] in June 2019 are considered unreliable. Following the purchase, Maven employed independent contractors for low pay and no benefits to write for the magazine, leading to a gradual decline in quality. This culminated in November 2023 when it was revealed that artificial intelligence (AI) had been used to write product review articles with little to no human oversight. While some veteran writers recognized as subject matter experts remain reliable on a case-by-case basis, editors should exercise caution to ensure that articles were not produced by AI or uncredited authors bylined as "SI Staff".
