#AI sucks. "Take the large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, which essentially work like fancy autocomplete and routinely make up citations to nonexistent sources. They have been “trained” – as though they are lovable puppies – on vast databases of books as well as scrapings from websites.(...) Meanwhile, “a survey conducted by the Society of Authors found that 26% of authors, translators, and illustrators surveyed had lost work due to generative AI.”"
