The book does not exist
(lemmy.world)
... and neither does the author (or so I believe - I made them both up).
On the other hand, AI is definitely good at creative writing.
I have a very unusual last name. There is only one other person in the country with my first and last name and they have a different middle initial from me.
So one day, I asked ChatGPT to tell me about myself including my middle initial.
Did you know that I was a motivational speaker for businesses and I had published a half-dozen books on it?
Because I didn't.
This is because there is a Mr. Flying Thomas Squid, living in another country, who is a motivational speaker and who didn't work in (... video ?).
Good theory, but this Mr. Flying Thomas Squid that ChatGPT talked about lived in the U.S. like me.
(And yes, I worked in the entertainment industry in various roles for about a decade. Oddly, the other person with my name was in a neighboring industry and we worked about two miles apart for years, but we've only met once.)
today's LLMs do hallucinate a lot ... I wouldn't eat mushrooms from harvesting books written by LLMs (they do exist).
Oh yeah, I would never, ever trust my life to an LLM.
I would if the OpenAI were held accountable for my demise.
I should try that. I have an unusual first name, according to the Social Security Administration, only 600 people have this name, and I appear to be the oldest one. Also no one else has my first and last name. I should try that out.
