A rooftop bar has apologised after incorrectly claiming a nearby restaurant had closed in an unchecked AI (artificial intelligence)-assisted blog post.
The Nook on Five, in Cheltenham, deleted the post about nearby restaurant Lumiere, after staff at the latter spotted it.
Helen Howe, who runs Lumiere with her husband Jon, said: "I think it actually is really serious because it can do huge amounts of damage, especially for such a small business."
The Nook on Five said it apologised for the mistake, which it put down to an "AI-generated draft" that had not been "appropriately reviewed", and encouraged its followers to visit Lumiere.
Lumiere first opened its doors in 2009 and obtained a Michelin star in 2023.
