Since NYT is not immune to #LLM - I asked the free version of Gemini to write a NYT-style book review of "A New Faith" and it was completely unsurprisingly vapid stuff getting some things right and many wrong. And in the quest to keep me hooked, it wrote nice things about the book which do show why it can lead to psychosis. This stuff is just not good!!
