Screenshot of text that reads: Lots of writers now only quote from original interviews, archives or physical books — anything else is too dangerous. It takes forever and I’m not sure there’s another way. Then there’s a picture of text that reads: Earlier this year, author Steven Rosenbaum took a phone call that turned his world upside down.The book be had spent three years researching and writing, he was informed, contained fabrications by AI tools. “When I learned there were factual inaccuracies in The Future of Truth, my first reaction was: that’s impossible.” Rosenbaum tells the FT two months after the discovery. “It had gone through a traditional publishing process with multiple rounds of editing and review.” Rosenbaum had been clear about the use of AI tools in his nonfiction book - ironically, a study of the future of truth and technology - but had used them only to research and organize material, including summarizing source documents and interviews. “What I failed to recognise was that, in some cases, it transformed those summaries into what appeared to be direct quotations,” he says. “The danger isn’t that AI writes bad prose. The danger is that is writes persuasive prose attached to facts that never existed.”
