Bibliothekare haben es satt, immer wieder beschuldigt zu werden, geheime Bücher zu verstecken, die von KI erfunden wurden: KI-Chatbots generieren gefälschte Titel, von denen die Leute behaupten, sie seien echt.

>The year seems to have been filled with examples of fake books and journal articles created with AI. A freelance writer for the Chicago Sun-Times generated a summer reading list for the newspaper with 15 books to recommend. But ten of the books [didn’t exist](https://gizmodo.com/chicago-paper-summer-reading-list-fake-books-ai-2000604708). The first report from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s so-called Make America Healthy Again commission was released in May. A week later, reporters at NOTUS published their findings after going through all of the citations. At least seven [didn’t exist](https://gizmodo.com/rfk-jr-s-make-america-healthy-again-report-cites-fake-studies-2000608850).

Just read a different post about how Amazon used AI-genned summaries for shows which resulted in an incorrect summary for Fallout.

The hardcore, tech-bro GenAI-proponents can go off all they want about how GenAI works just fine as long as you check your work but the fact is that people just don’t do that. And you can say, well people have always been sloppy, which is true. But GenAI supercharges that sloppy behavior and scales it up massively in a way that people are proving they aren’t ready for. It’s like saying „guns already exist“ when all you had before were flintlock rifles and now you’re handing out machine guns to chimpanzees on the street.
