Totally agree LLMs should not be used for looking up news, facts, background checks or anything else you can't check yourself. These are Generative tools! I find it somewhat hilarious that diffusion models get into legal trouble for recreating content too accurately and LLMs for hallucinating things that aren't there. I'm responding to a comment/question of "why is this news" since of course there are negative externalities. I guess a charitable reading is, wow this also affects me and my powerful friends... so now you should care? Perhaps cultural grievance is living rent free in your head, since I didn't actually mention names (only the most recent and outrageous examples of using the legal/business/political system to make a profit spreading lies) and as far as I know the article author and "libeled" professor are on the other side of that cultural war. The entire article reads like a trope devoid of useful information. I'm just saddened by the quality of content from respected well heeled human generators. It's the kind of narrative garbage LLMs will spit out tons of in the next few years.
