Zero Hedge:
In an embarrassing episode that will help aggravate society’s uneasy relationship with artificial intelligence, the Chicago Sun-Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and other newspapers around the country published a summer-reading list where most of the books were entirely made up by ChatGPT.
The article was licensed content provided by King Features Syndicate, a subsidiary of Hearst Newspapers. Initial reporting of the bogus list focused on the Sun-Times, which two months earlier announced that 20% of its staff had accepted buyouts as the paper staggers under a dying business model. However, several other newspapers also ran the syndicated article, which was part of a package of summer-themed content called “Heat Index.” more here
AI.is great for thongs like math, assembly of things, but usess for anything requiring a judgement. And, it’s politically tainted.
Anon: AI needs to be “trained”, and unfortunately most software engineets are libs…
Two words, HAL 9000. I don’t trust AI any farther than I can throw it. I prefer to live in reality and not in a world dictated by artificial non intelligence.
This is slightly more sophisticated than “Under the Bleachers, by Seymour Butts”. Media twits are so easily gulled when something fits their preconceptions, a deadline approaches and they are lazy.
Call me when AI starts writing whole books, and DEI doctoral candidates start plagiarizing them. I expect that call soon, as we descend into idiocracy while AI rises.
Thirdtwin, you missed the classic Yellow River by I P Freely.
When it suggested “Borders and Their Importance to National Sovereignty” 327 pages with footnotes by Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas, it had to be fake.
When it suggested “Giving the Babysitter a Tip” instead of “Giving the Babysitter the Tip” by Doug Emhoff, it had to be fake.
When it omitted “The Easter Bunny Guides Me, a coloring book where it’s OK to go outside the lines” By Joe Biden, it had to be fake.
@Thirdtwin
In addition to “Under the Bleachers” by Seymour Butts, we must never forget the classic: “The Open Pajama”, by Seymour Teats.
Then there is this:
