Quoting New York Times Editors’ Note

Simon Willison's AI Notes published: This article was updated after The Times learned that a remark attributed to Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader, was in fact an A.I.-generated summary of his views about Canadian politics that A.I. rendered as a quotation. The reporter should have checked the accuracy of what the A.I. tool returned. The article now accurately quotes from a speech delivered by Mr. Poilievre in April. [...] He did not refer to politicians who changed allegiances as turncoats in that speech. — New York Times Editors’ Note Tags: ai-ethics , hallucinations , generative-ai , new-york-times , journalism , ai , llms
