Techdirt: ‘News’ Site Keeps Hallucinating EFF Staffers. “News-USA Today is hardly the only slagheap that’s hallucinating or fabricating EFF personnel and quotes; as we wrote last September, media companies large and small are using AI to generate news content because it’s cheaper than paying for journalists’ salaries, but that savings can come at the cost of the outlets’ […]

I evoke the reality of brainstorms as a way to think differently about AI hallucinations – albeit with one very big caveat. https://www.martinbihl.com/business-thinking/ai-hallucinations #aihallucinations #AI #artificialintelligence
