Nonfiction Book 'The Future of Truth' Reportedly Included AI-Generated and Misattributed Quotations
Description
Steven Rosenbaum's nonfiction book The Future of Truth reportedly included AI-generated or misattributed quotations after he used ChatGPT and Claude while working on the book. The New York Times reported that more than half a dozen quotations in reviewed sections were synthetic or wrongly attributed, including passages assigned to named writers and scholars. Rosenbaum later acknowledged the errors as accidental and said affected passages would be reviewed for correction.
