Author defends AI use despite synthetic quotes

Journalist Steven Rosenbaum acknowledges his book, 'The Future of Truth,' contained synthetic and improperly attributed quotes due to AI research tools. Despite this controversy, Rosenbaum intends to continue using AI for research, citing its ability to connect ideas and offer new thinking pathways. He distinguishes between AI-assisted research and his own writing, emphasizing that the narrative and conclusions are his own. Rosenbaum is conducting a citation audit to correct errors, but the incident highlights challenges for traditional fact-checking processes when dealing with AI-generated content.
