It beggars belief doesn't it!
Definitely agree that they need to trust themselves. Low confidence seems like a large part of the problem.

My favourite gen-AI work so far is still the one that hallucinated references to work in my name which they had not checked were real before submitting to me...
It baffles me that people cannot see how poor quality most AI output is. Even if you could get it past staff, are they targeting a third?

It's click bait journalism. Both Zack and, to be fair Daisy Cooper (largely) did an excellent job tonight. But the fixation on migration from the media is blocking the capacity to meaningfully address the real issues facing this country.

Yes, in this case I think Dr GPT was likely the one blowing smoke. But, of course, that being the case the citations have rather the opposite effect than that desired

Fortunately, with Zack and a growing Green party, there are reasons to hope. But all I am seeing from Your Party is a farce.
