The reason I think this is good news is because no writer wants to face this kind of humiliation. So I'm hoping debacles like this encourage authors, reporters, etc. to never, ever accept that AI generated source material is factually accurate.

We need a few more events like this--widely reported--to settle people down about the "miracle" of AI.
