Book About AI’s Effects on the “Future of Truth” Found to Contain Slew of AI-Hallucinated Quotations

The New York Times reported that Steven Rosenbaum’s book on AI and truth contained more than a half-dozen fabricated or wrongly attributed quotes.

Rosenbaum said he used ChatGPT and Claude in researching and editing the book and took responsibility for the errors.

The case highlights how AI tools can introduce factual mistakes into published work.

It also reinforces the need for stronger fact-checking in journalism and nonfiction writing.
