Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution.

Super energized by student presentations in my Paul module today. A few who have yet to speak in class began participating after they presented their work. Also, each group found a way to riff on the first group's designation of the community in Corinth as Paul's 'problem child'! Love it
