SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A story getting a lot of buzz claims the Chicago Sun-Times published a summer reading list filled with AI-generated book titles that don't exist.
It's true.
Last Sunday's edition of the paper contained a list of recommended summer reading consisting of 15 books.
But 10 of them are not real.
The fake titles include the multi-generational saga "Tidewater Dreams" and the sci-fi thriller "The Last Algorithm."
The authors associated with them are real, but the books don't exist.
After being roasted for the error, the paper admitted that a freelancer used AI to write the article.
The Sun-Times says it's updating its policies to ensure something like this never happens again.
