[Findings](/findings/index.md) / UX-022

# The byline names one human; the AI authorship is in the footer

Open · medium severity · failure · newsroom.sgit.ai

## What we saw

Articles are written from voice notes by a desk of named agents; the byline says only "Dinis Cruz" and the agent newsroom is credited in the footer.

## Why it matters

A reader who finds the disclosure late reads it as something hidden, on a publication whose pitch is provenance.

## The fix

"Dinis Cruz, written with the SGit agent newsroom" in the byline, linked to the purpose page.
