Chicago Sun-Times prints summer reading list full of fake books Reading list in advertorial supplement contains 66% made up books by real authors.

"'"I do use AI for background at times but always check out the material first. This time, I did not and I can't believe I missed it because it's so obvious. No excuses,'" Buscaglia said."
1)THIS IS NOT BACKGROUND! THIS IS MAKING UP ENTIRE BOOKS! WHICH ARE THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE ARTICLE!

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Seriously, do not buy, stream, or otherwise support of promote more Harry Potter bullshit. It is no longer theoretical - Rowling is funelling those wizard bucks into getting the law changed to actively oppress an already-vulnerable minority.

JK Rowling posing like a smug supervillain on some yacht or villa balcony or something and gloating about the UK Supreme Court's anti-trans decision.

Look, I have a quote about hope on my right arm that comes from HP.

I get it.

But you *cannot* continue to support this woman.

You *cannot* keep paying for anything related to HP.

She is taking that money and funneling it into hateful, ultimately violent, actions and ideologies.

Trump is trying to gut libraries. Fight back with ALA. Show up for our libraries. ALA American Library Association

Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA.

The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out.

A grey cat sits on a cluttered desk. Only half of his head is visible, the rest of him hidden behind a lamp, with one eye staring ominously out at the viewer. He sits next to a box of Calming Cat Pheromones.
