“Last month one of our journalists received an interesting email. A researcher had come across mention of a #Guardian article, written by the journalist on a specific subject from a few years before. But the piece was proving elusive on our website and in #search.”

“Despite the detailed #records we keep of all our content, and especially around deletions or #legal issues, they could find no trace of its existence.

Why? Because it had never been written.

Luckily the #researcher had told us that they had carried out their research using #ChatGPT. In response to being asked about articles on this subject, the AI had simply made some up.” — #ChrisMoran
