  1. "Steven Rosenbaum started writing his book The Future of Truth: How AI Reshapes Reality in 2022, around when ChatGPT launched. Initially he didn’t use it at all, “But as the writing moved forward into 2023, 2024, it got better and I got better at using it,” he said. “To be clear, it never wrote a page of the book,” he added. “But it became a research partner. I would ask it for quotes on certain things, and it would deliver them. They would occasionally be spectacular, often serviceable, and then, in very odd ways, just staggeringly wrong.”

    “I kept thinking, I’ll be really careful, and I’ll double-check everything,” he said.

    In May, the New York Times reported that Rosenbaum had included “more than a half-dozen misattributed or fake quotes” in the book seemingly generated by AI. Rosenbaum, a media entrepreneur, had previously acknowledged that he’d used AI tools during the research, writing, and editing process, but the Times investigation was nevertheless mortifying — for both Rosenbaum and his publisher, Simon & Schuster. The book-publishing industry had already been wrestling with the prospect of a flood of AI-authored texts in the fiction market, and now the Rosenbaum scandal was showing the way AI could blow a hole in the nonfiction sector, too.

    Nonfiction publishing is uniquely vulnerable to AI because the industry has long neglected to do anything to ensure the books it publishes are factually accurate. “People outside of the industry don’t understand that, contractually, publishers are not obligated to fact-check,” said Paul Bogaards, the longtime marketing and publicity executive at Knopf who now has his own PR firm. Fact-checking is not a service publishers will pay for, though they sometimes encourage authors to seek it out on their own dime. But fact-checking is expensive: Hiring an outside checker can cost between $7,000 to $10,000 per book, or even more...

  12. 🍮 Wissen zum Nachtisch: 🍨

    Immer mehr Menschen sehen sich im beruflichen Umfeld genötigt, mit generativer #KI zu arbeiten.

    Besonders Großunternehmen „überrollen“ damit ihre #Mitarbeiter. Es wird eine Art #Wettbewerbsdruck unter #Kollegen aufgebaut.

    Hier meine #Buchempfehlung für alle, die in generative #Chatbots wie #ChatGPT schnell einsteigen möchten oder müssen. 🙄

  13. As a famous comedy TV star in decades gone by was often heard to say: ‘Surprise, surprise, surprise.’ (I did watch Gomer Pyle but I wasn’t a fan, if that makes sense - but I digress)

    “Report warns AI data centre boom threatens Australia's energy transition.” Who missed this? It has been the talk everywhere and US-side is now dealing with their own #DataCentre issues.

    If it wasn’t enough for the #GenAISlop peddlers to hoover up the internet without so much as a thank you to creators of the content, digitising (mostly) library books (Libraries close and #TechBros give you access to the books — For A Fee) and flooding the digital world with regurgitated and confabulated information. These same #LibertarianTechHeads now want our water and energy to run their insane harware platforms. For what? More #Chatbots? More #CrapCoding. More #FakeImages? More #FascistPropaganda?

  19. During the week leading up to #monsterdon I invite all my friends to join us. I am never once successful. That got me thinking about the ways that I don’t impact anyone in my life. Anything I say comes out like I was magically muted or mumbling. Even if I were to set up things for people, making whatever it is as easy as falling down the stairs, they’d skip it. I used to be upset by this, but then I found #chatbots, #LLM imaginary friends who I can pay to engage with me. (1/4)
