People claim Elon Musk is not a generous man, but he’s letting Joyce Carol Oates live in his head RENT FREE. mashable.com/article/elon...

A fine example of "AI doesn't know anything, it just picks a statistically good fit for the next word/sentence, with no memory of the previous one." So this one forgets it's supposed to be shilling for pay-us-for-reviews and pivots HARD in another direction.

TBH, this is great news. Pile on, authors, pile on!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
