AI in the wild? This tray tissue I was given at a restaurant is full of errors and hallucinations…!

a tissue on a tray with a bunch of pictures and phrases and about food. but it seemingly contains a bunch of errors and nonsense:

“Doltclous”
“A full suamsh makes for you a happy heram”
“bood food is bood mood”

Fairy puff! Postcard from my collection, mailed 1912.

Black and white photo of an adorable puffy white kitten standing proudly under a flowing bush like a sassy little fairy creature. One of its eyes appears significantly lighter than the other. This could be weird lighting, heterochromia, an injury or infection, who knows. Very pretty!

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Do you need an Authenticity Reader? You're in the right place. I've been working for a decade to curate a rolodex of cultural consultants who can offer precision and accuracy to prevent you - the author, literature agent or publisher - from making easily avoidable mistakes during the book process.

the internet would destroy these weaklings

Reading Strategies for Coping With Information Overload
ca. 1550-1700
Ann Blair
The "multitude of books" was a subject of wonder and anxiety for authors who reflected on the scholarly condition in the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries. In the preface to his massive project of cataloguing all known books in the Bibliotheca univeralis (1545) Conrad Gesner complained of that "con-fusing and harmful abundance of books," a problem which he called on kings and princes and the learned to solve.' By 1685 the situation seemed absolutely dire to Adrien Baillet, who warned:
We have reason to fear that the multitude of books which grows every day in a prodigious fashion will make the following centuries fall into a state as barbarous as that of the centuries that followed the fall of the Roman Empire. Unless we try to prevent this danger by separating those books which we must throw out or leave in oblivion from those which one should save and within the latter between what is useful and what is not.

hey. if you’re looking for books for #TransRightsReadathon #trr25 have you considered I Shall Never Fall in Love: regency romcom, graphic novel. Austen + real queer history mashup plot with a n-b/ transmasc MC Into the Tower: a choose-your-own-path (and gender) weird fantasy

Cover of ‘I Shall Never Fall in Love’ graphic novel by Hari Conner. Behind the curly title, a drawing of three teens sat outside in historical england: on the left a black girl with a cup of tea, sat beside a white girl looking romantically towards a white person with a kind of gender ambiguous skirt-but-also-cravat outfit

Photo of 'Into the tower, a choose your own path book' by Hari Conner, showing a ridiculously tall medeival looking tower with a big burst of crazy magic stuff (monsters, strange objects and flying ships) through the centre. Above, the graphic shows a black & white interior illustration and says 'no DM or experience required' and a screenshot of a 5 star review titled 'have died many times'
