This community knows just how unreliable AI sourcing is, and yet. The cognitive bias toward trusting these things is so strong even the people who should really, really know better can't help themselves. Which means you (and I) probably can't either. Be careful out there, knowledge workers!

I just posted this morning about my experience with ChatGPT just making up whole quotes out of thin air. The quotes it made up sound good, but I double-checked. Worse, ChatGPT couldn't give me a reason for why it does this. bsky.app/profile/meta...

I asked ChatGPT to go through transcripts of a recent workshop I attended, and it gave me *totally* made-up quotes, over and over again. No matter what, it kept making up quotes. When I asked where a quote was coming from, it said, "I shouldn’t have been getting it from anywhere." WTF?
