I keep seeing people saying they are happy to use AI text generators as sources of factual information, because they're confident that when the thing generates an inaccurate answer they'll easily spot it.

Speaking from my experience of 20+ years of professional fact-checking: the errors you can spot easily are not the ones you need to worry about.

Demain commence à Paris la troisième rencontre internationale entre la France et l'Amérique du Sud sur la #ScienceOuverte : https://so-fr-amlat2023.sciencesconf.org/

C'est en français, en espagnol et en portugais que nous échangerons autour des politiques de ScienceOuverte, des modèles économiques et des infrastructures des revues en accès ouvert, du partage des données de la recherche, de la réforme nécessaire de l'évaluation de la recherche, et de la #ScienceOuverte elle-même comme objet de recherche.

Every company: We proudly proclaim to be the giants of X! Our customer base is unrivaled, and our awesomeness knows no bounds.

EU: Greetings, it is I, the Digital Markets Act.

I haven't been very active here recently, but #OAI13 finished last week and videos to rewatch each day are already available thanks to the fantastic tech team https://oai.events/oai13/oai13-videos/. An amazing resource from a superb lineup of speakers.

Paraphrasing Janne Pölönen at #oai13

"Scholarship needs to span not only global excellence, but in particular pay much more attention to local relevance."

What a wonderful statement:!
