>> do we need new word for describing the act of #factChecking #AI?

Obviously one would perform #slopScreening before #bowdlerizing, but the end result is still #slopSanitizing

Not surprising. It's called CYA for the publishers and estates, but in this age of something offends someone somewhere no matter what, it is what it is. TBH, don't like a book, simple, don't read it. If enough people forget the book, out of print and gone. The cycle of life.
