May 21 news, according to foreign media The Verge reported that the May 18 issue of the Chicago Sun-Times published a guide to summer activities, covering new trends, outdoor recreation and recommended book lists. However, some of the recommendations in this seemingly extensive issue involve\u00a0AI<\/a> Generated fake books<\/strong>The characters quoted in the section are alsoSuspected of being a fabrication<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"9347ef13j00swm0je0021d000v900jtp\"<\/p>\n

In addition to authentic titles such as Call Me by Your Name, the list also lists a number ofNon-existent works signed by real writers<\/strong>For example, the newspaper recommended the \"work\" Night Shadow Market by Korean author Lee Min-Jin, claiming that it was a \"novel about Seoul's underground economy\". For example, the paper recommended Night Shadow Market, a \"work\" by South Korean author Lee Min-Jin, claiming it was a \"novel about Seoul's underground economy\", when in fact it did not exist. Chicago writer Rebecca Mackay was also misattributed as the author of Boiling Point, which purported to be about the rebellious daughter of a climate scientist, butEqually non-existent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Sun-Times subsequently posted on the Bluesky platform that it was investigating how the content in question entered the print process, emphasizing that it was not written or reviewed by the editorial board.1AI learned from the report that Victor Lim, the paper's senior director of audience development, said, \"It is absolutely unacceptable for us to provide inaccurate content<\/strong>\" and promised to release more information as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

In a statement on its website, the newspaper said the \"Summer Picks\" content was \"brought in under license from a national media partner.\" The Chicago Sun-Times said it had removed the section from its electronic edition and had begun revising its policies to ensure that all third-party content met editorial standards and that sources were more clearly identified.<\/p>\n

Another article in the column, signed by Marco Buscaglia, cites a number of \"experts\" and organizations, but some of them appear to be \"experts\".No physical presence<\/strong>For example, a 2023 article by author Brianna Madia in Outside magazine was cited, but no story was found. For example, a quote from writer Brianna Madia's 2023 article in Outside Magazine is missing, as is a quote from an \"industry analysis\" published by Eagles Nest Outfitters, which is also missing, and a reference to \"Dr. Jennifer Campos, a professor of leisure studies at the University of Colorado,\" which is still \"not found\". \"Dr. Jennifer Campos, Professor of Leisure Studies at the University of Colorado\", which is still \"not found\".<\/p>\n

In response to an interview with 404 Media, Buscaglia admitted that sometimesAI will be used to find the context of the information, but the source is usually verified<\/strong>. \"I didn't verify this time and I couldn't believe that such an obvious mistake had slipped through my fingers. There's no excuse for that.It's entirely my fault. It's a real shame.<\/strong>. "<\/p>\n

Another article titled \"Summer Food Trends,\" also unattributed, had a similar problem, citing \"Cornell University food anthropologist Dr. Kathryn Furst,\" among others.There are no experts available.<\/strong>It also attributes a quotation to Padma Lakshmi, which in fact \"does not exist.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
