20 May
Summary
- Author used AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude for book research and writing.
- Fake quotes attributed to Kara Swisher and Lisa Feldman Barrett were discovered.
- Rosenbaum admitted to "a handful of improperly attributed or synthetic quotes."
Steven Rosenbaum's recent book, 'The Future of Truth,' is facing scrutiny after the discovery of more than six AI-generated fabricated and misattributed quotes. Rosenbaum has publicly acknowledged using AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude during the book's research, writing, and editing phases.
This situation came to light when a fabricated quote attributed to journalist Kara Swisher was identified. Additionally, two quotes purportedly from psychology professor Lisa Feldman Barrett were found to be inaccurate and not present in her original work. Rosenbaum has accepted full responsibility for these errors and is collaborating with editors to correct the affected passages for future editions.
Despite these AI-related inaccuracies, Rosenbaum asserts that the book still addresses crucial themes concerning truth, trust, artificial intelligence, and their broader societal and democratic implications. The author stated his commitment to reviewing and rectifying any errors, ensuring the integrity of future publications.
