Schumacher’s supposed quotes said that “my life has completely changed [onnettomuuden] after. It was a terrible time for my wife, my children and the whole family”.
“I was injured so badly that I lay for months in a kind of artificial coma, because otherwise my body would not have been able to withstand everything,” Schumacher continued, according to the magazine.
At the end of the article, it was revealed that the supposed quotes had been generated by artificial intelligence.
The media company Funke Mediengruppe, which publishes the magazine, regretted the publication of the article and fired the magazine’s editor-in-chief already last year.
