    So he used an AI tool to “organize” references and it hallucinated crap that made it into the human-written article because he never reviewed the output for accuracy.

    This guy writes about AI for a living, he knows it hallucinates, and he even acknowledges the irony but never explains why he thought experimenting with AI was a good idea to begin with. Am I supposed to assume his judgment was impaired by being sick?

    Thanks for linking this. I hope ars makes it more visible. I’ll have to take Benj’s word.

    That’s the thing with trust, hard to build, easy to burn.
