Complete utter fail at what used to be a core challenge in natural language understanding, disambiguating multiple people with same name. And hallucinations left, right, and center. https://t.co/8LxYb7lzun

From the linked article, by Fred Kaplan in Slate:
When I learned that Meta’s programmers downloaded 183,000 books for a database to teach the company’s generative A.I. machines how to write, I was curious whether any of my own books had been fed into the crusher.
Alex Reisner of the Atlantic has provided a handy search tool—type in an author’s name, out comes all of his or her books that the LLaMA used. I typed “Fred Kaplan” and found that three of my six books (1959, Dark Territory, and The Insurgents) had been assimilated into the digital Borg. [...]
I also noticed that the search listed nine of the 11 books by the other author named Fred Kaplan, as if we were the same person. My doppelgänger (whom I’ve never met, though reviewers and Amazon listings have occasionally conflated the two of us) might also be wondering about his two omissions.
