This to me is a lot more concerning than a memoir being "loosely" based on the truth. I never expected those or other mass appeal non-fiction titles to be held to a very high bar.

And it's such an insanely simple sanity check to see if the citations are real. Like an intern could do it.
Yes, the use of so-called AI to produce and check stuff is garbage. It is concerning.

LLM produces plausible garbage unless tricked to divulge what has been copied (so-called "Training" is simply copying, mostly without curation).

Almost everything to do with "Machine Learning" / LLM etc end of so called "AI" is made up marketing hype.
