He'll get a correction and maybe a few bucks. Shit happens all the fucking time with journalism.

    1. This wasn't journalism.

    2. This does not happen all the time with journalism.

    3. A correction doesn't fix this. Unlike with actual journalism, the problem is with the AI and not with a specific output.

    1. Doesn't matter. Same legal concept.
    2. 👌
    3. Yes, retaining and providing guided training data can absolutely reduce the problem to a trivial error rate that is just as bad as traditional search when dealing with a shitty input.

    You people say the dumbest shit just 'because ai'.
