Thinking about this, and I would love some questions answered by journalists who see this:
- Is it common these days for stories to publish without editorial review?
- During editorial review, would made-up quotes from a cited source be caught?
- Do you see any difference between using LLMs to create a story (and hallucinate quotes) and just making them up yourself?
- If you had been caught doing this, what would happen next?

@mttaggart really hoping to see some transparency from ARS on this because what a cluster!

@mttaggart as much as i thoroughly detest every link in the chain that made this Ars article possible--from the asshat who made the agent which submitted the PR to the asshats at Ars--question 3 in particular still made me gasp involuntarily. It's such a great line of questioning. Reframing AI hallucinations like this sometimes feels like the only way to make fence-sitters come down. "If you had a coworker who was completely wrong 10% of the time when you asked them a question... would you ask them questions anymore?" has been how I've gotten through to a few people in my life.
