If you use AI, be prepared to check it’s work. The news industry has been experiencing some rough roads for not performing due diligence, and this past week was a big name. The Chicago Sun-Times, original home to Roger Ebert, came under fire for printing a reading list provided by a King Features, a division of Hearst publications… yes, that Hearst. So, a number of other newspapers printed this summer reading list article that apparently was 15 books long, but the first 10 weren’t even real. Apparently someone used AI to save time, but then never checked the information. This is merely the latest in AI gaffes, and alleviates some fears that it will take over the world anytime soon.
You have to read down the list of 15 titles to the eleventh entry before you hit a real book .
