The book on AI destroying truth. The AI destroyed some of its quotes.
Steven Rosenbaum's book The Future of Truth contains AI-fabricated quotes
Author Steven Rosenbaum wrote a book called "The Future of Truth." The subject: how AI threatens to impose "potentially catastrophic robotic certainty" on the concept of truth. The New York Times found that the book contains multiple quotes that were made up by AI.
Rosenbaum used Claude and ChatGPT for research, writing, and editing. He says he takes "full responsibility" for the errors. He also says: "These AI errors do not, in fact, diminish the larger questions that the book raises."
Those larger questions being whether AI will destroy our ability to know what's real. Answered here, somewhat empirically.
