To add to the "NYT Canada bureau chief used a fake AI quote thing" ... the fact that this blunder came doing the most basic of journalism tasks (quoting a public speech) is a direct example of the very dangerous de-skilling that these AI tools present.

Like, this isn't some obscure detail or mass data analysis that AI boosters have been claiming it can help journalists do.
Quoting a public political speech is reporting 101 ... the most basic shit!!
And if AI has made one of Canada's highest profile reporters this lazy ... that's really bad!!
