Chicago paper publishes AI-generated 'summer reading list' with books that don't exist
Texas high school student Elliston Berry joins'Fox & Friends' to discuss the House's passage of a new bill that criminalizes the sharing of non-consensual intimate images, including content created with artificial intelligence. The Chicago Sun-Times admitted on Tuesday that it published an AI-generated list of books that don't exist for its summer reading list. On Sunday, the publication released a special 64-page section titled "Heat Index: Your Guide to the Best of Summer" which featured a list of 15 recommended books for summer. However, upon further look, it was found that 10 of the 15 books on the list were not real. One example included a book called "Nightshade Market" by Min Jin Lee, which was described as a "riveting tale set in Seoul's underground economy" and follows "three women whose paths intersect in an illegal night market" exploring "class, gender and the shadow economies beneath prosperous societies."
