@GossiTheDog Now we can add that to Wikipedia where the fact that it's in a third party source outweighs you claiming you never said it!

It's a glorious world.

@troed I'm not sure how that has anything to do with government control of newspaper if tools are regulated.

Of course the government shouldn't care if journalists decide to do shoddy work, but using tools that actively hurt society and the planet should not be allowed for anyone.

@troed @max someone shared a blog post about the terrible effect of LLMs on programming the other day, and about half the article was obviously, and ironically, LLM generated, probably explains why it was twice as long as it needed to be. But the LLMs turn of phrase (it sounded like chatGPT) was quite nice, we don't need to ban them, we just need to fact check them thoroughly, although it may still be easier to have someone write from the facts, than find their inventions.

Also I think the kind of mistake that gets sued in journalism is context dependent. Mixing up say the right honourable Baroness Theresa May, and Teresa May the adult film star, can be amusing, cringy, or a lawsuit, and humans have little problem telling these situations apart. Seen LLMs confuse people with similar names before.
