I've had a few instances recently of people citing something I wrote...but it's not what I said. Today's example is so egregious that I suspect the citation is AI-generated.

Congratulations, Abby! www.stfx.ca/news/Abby-Ives

Thinking about a PMLA "Changing Profession" cluster on "On (Not) Reading Literary Essays after AI": if anyone's interested in writing / editing hmu, have a good central essay on Ishiguro / Cusk already.

You know how websites just seem slower? That's not in your mind. Generative AI uses hordes of bots to crawl webpages, which a) results in websites in going down and b) means that pages are slower to load for humans because the sites are also managing the bot load

More importantly, is this proof that Anne Rice is herself a vampire?

Do you suppose some folks are getting these books so that it will seem like they have engaged deeply with a text when they haven't? Annotated books as props?

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.
