I see The Chicago Sun-Times and The Chicago Tribune are still adversarial. Chicago Sun-Times Sunday insert contains 10 fake books in list
A special section inserted into the Sunday Chicago Sun-Times featured page upon page of fun summer activities, including a list of 15 books to bring along while lounging by the pool or relaxing in a favorite reading spot.
The only problem: The authors are real, but most of the books don’t exist. Artificial intelligence, employed by a Chicago freelance writer, simply made them up.
The Sun-Times is "looking into" how this could have happened, but there is no mystery. Whoever put the list together hired a recent college grad, and that recent college grad turned to AI, and no one bothered to check.
“We are looking into how this made it into print as we speak,” the Sun-Times said. “This is licensed content that was not created by, or approved by, the Sun-Times newsroom, but it is unacceptable for any content we provide to our readers to be inaccurate. We value our readers’ trust in our reporting and take this very seriously.”
As Pixy Misa has been saying for some time, AI is a pathological liar in a box.
The internet was fun while it lasted, but it will soon be awash in AI generated lies. It is already less useful that it was 10 years ago.
