"Even worse was the suggestion by Grammarly’s A.I. version of me to replace the first sentence of the news article with an anecdotal opening describing a fictional person named Laura whose privacy had been violated. “Laura, a patient searching for relief from a chronic condition, clicks through her hospital’s website to schedule an appointment. In just a few moments, her most private medical details — her reason for visiting, her doctor’s name and even the treatment she seeks — are quietly sent to Facebook, without her knowledge,” the bot suggested with a button allowing the user to paste that excerpt straight into the article. Replacing a factual sentence with an imagined story about a person who doesn’t exist is not only bad editing. It’s a deception that could end my career as a journalist (or the career of any journalist who took that terrible advice). And this is the problem with A.I. It doesn’t know truth from fiction. It doesn’t know an investigative news article from an offhand comment. It flattens all content into word associations. What Grammarly made wasn’t a doppelgänger. As the writer Ingrid Burrington wrote on Bluesky, it was a sloppelgänger — A.I. slop masquerading as a person. And it must be stopped." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/opinion/ai-doppelganger-deepfake-grammarly.html #AI #GenerativeAI #Copyright #Writing #Hallucinations

@crazyeddie@mastodon.social @DoomsdaysCW@kolektiva.social "All rights reserved" usually would appear in the *published* version of your work, not necessary in a MS for a beta reader. It indicates that the publisher of the book has reserved all other rights, so people who want film rights, magazine rights etc would need to apply to the publisher, and if they agreed to sell, say, the film rights, they would have to OK it with you too. #copyright
