My colleague points out here that possibly one in seven requests to our library now may be assisted by LLMs.
When those point to fictional documents, that's a huge staff time drain. There's often no quick way to check if an undigitized primary source doc exists beyond physically pulling some boxes.

Yeah, although it did give me a hilarious/depressing moment. One day at Sunday lunch I asked him what he actually did there and he said "we used to fire particle beams through plasma rings" and I remember thinking

Sounds like we both had dads who worked at cool places - before the UK government job, dad used to work at CERN. He had big toys to play with there, LOL

Oh, that's cool. We had a Commodore Pet at home, which I must have started programming on from age 8 or 9, but I didn't have any stuff like that. Dad worked for a general government department in IT but didn't get old cast-offs.
