The CEO from the Chicago Sun-Times called me to fact check my part in finding the AI Generated Summer Reading guide.
My takeaway: its was very real learning experience for more the just Sun-Times. And if we want local media, we need to support local media.

Lessons (and an apology) from the Sun-Times CEO on that AI-generated book list

Kicking off my long weekend with this absolute gem, DISAPPOINT ME by Nicola Dinan. This one is for anyone who has ever worried they’re getting left out of something they’re not even sure they want a part of (in this case, heteronormativity). #booksky

Said some more stuff about AI, particularly that whole "hey we let it make up a bunch of fake books and then we published that list of fake books in the real world as part of a newspaper" thing. At the blog. Enjoy! Or don't! I'm not your boss.

When I shared a screen capture of the OP with friends, several of them asked me (reasonably!) if it was real. I love that Tina has also demonstrated the importance of fact-checking and the (sometimes literal) footwork that can be necessary to verify sources in the age of AI. bsky.app/profile/tbre...
Yep- the bogus summer reading list from the Chicago Sun Times is real. Here I am with it from a few minutes ago.

Oh good grief. This is what happens when we devalue expertise. Journalists, Librarians, Booksellers, Writers, literally ANYONE WHO READS could have made a real list of real books that actually exist.
