I asked ChatGPT to recommend some of “the most interesting articles written by the journalist Clive Thompson”
Of the nine it listed …
… seven were ones I hadn’t written, and a few didn’t exist at all, by anyone
One was a pastiche
Only one was truly correct
This performance is so unbelievably terrible it’s almost charitable to call it “bullshit”
