Since most of these emails have already run my book summary and reviews through the plagiarism/environment-destroying machine, I've saved the best bits to use in my own promo.

I believe in recycling. 😉

Here's the reality this example illustrates:

It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

I mean we are absolutely in a place now where the only solution to this information disorder is for everyone to constantly evaluate the source of information. Never trust a chatbot, but also don't believe a video unless you know and trust where it comes from.

Unfortunately... that's a lot of work.

Yeah, I get this a lot. It took me a long time to get better from my round of it, and I doubt I've fully recovered. I *never* want it again.

Oh no!

I have so many colleagues that have had repeated bouts and they just shrug as if it is NBD. I got it for the first time this summer, and a month later, tested positive for some autoimmune things.

When I asked my doc if they could be related, he blew the question off.

IKR? Vaccines are a victim of their own success. You would have thought Covid would have been a wake up call, but no.

Not only will people die unnecessarily, but vaccine development and distribution will take a big hit too. This will impact us all.
