I do use AI for background at times but always check out the material first. This time, I did not...

Maybe it's because I'm not an AI, but I don't understand how the word "always" can be used like that...

Okay but I want that book to be real. Anyone got Andy Weir's number?

He either needs to write it or get AI to write it, that would be hilarious!

Jesus H. Christ, does this paper not have a damn editor?

It sounds like this wasn't even Sun Times generated content, it's some licensed content that got copy/pasted with no review.

Up next, an article about how college kids are skipping learning and just using gpt for everything.

The hypocrisy is wild.

Yeah somebody named Andy Weir now has to write this book.

Reminds me about a popular commercial about a guy who wrote a book. The commercial was so moving that a lot of people looked for the book, but it didn't exist. So they took an existing book, renamed it, published it under a pseudonym, and got the actor from the commercial to promote it:
