The truly disturbing thing about this is that there are a lot of people whose hope for AI moving forward isn’t that it avoids making these mistakes but that it actually writes the made up books and can pass them off as being by the real authors.
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Urgent care is the true American experience—you pay a $20 copay and think, yeah our system has huge flaws but at least I can get in quickly, pay a small amount and get solid care. Then inevitably a larger bill comes in the mail a week later and they’ll report you to collections if you don’t pay asap

📚💙 I know that #Booksky is a wonderful place far from Twitter because I’ve been scrolling these “20 books that have influenced you” posts for a while and I haven’t seen the Alchemist listed once.

So I can really just log in here while watching a basketball game and see posts from people about that basketball game (instead of games that happened 2 days ago), get book recs, and see pictures of cats/nature?? This seems good.
