So many reports like this, it's not a question of working out the kinks. Are we getting close to our very own Stop the Slop campaign?

Yeah, after daily working with AI for a decade in a domain where it _does_ work predictably and reliably (image analysis), I continue to be amazed how many of us continue to trust LLM-based text output as being useful. If any human source got their facts wrong this often, we'd surely dismiss them as a counterproductive imbecile.

Or elect them President.

I am beginning to wonder why I use it, but the idea of it is so tempting. Try to google it and get stuck because it's difficult to find, or ask and get an instant response. It's not hard to guess which one is more inviting, but it ends up being a huge time sink anyway.
