Geeze, you mean the pictures it comes up with for me may not be real? Uh-oh.

Multiple newspapers publish “summer reading list" without realizing that 10 of the 15 books are fake and generated by AI

[T]he article was "partially" written by AI, according to the author.

I'm guessing the 2/3 of it that were just completely made up out of whole cloth were AI.

But do we actually think whatever bozo compiled a summer reading list using AI has actually even read any of these books?

Or any books?

The list has no byline. But writer Marco Buscaglia has claimed responsibility for it and says it was partly generated by Artificial Intelligence, as first reported by the website 404 Media. In an email to NPR, Buscaglia writes, 'Huge mistake on my part and has nothing to do with the Sun-Times. They trust that the content they purchase is accurate and I betrayed that trust. It's on me 100 percent.'

I mean, yeah, it's on you 100%. Sure.

But also, did these newspapers not even give a quick glance at the list to make sure that the books were real?
