The Future of Truth: How AI Reshapes Reality
Corrected · 19 May 2026
What was fabricated
A New York Times review found more than half a dozen misattributed or fabricated quotes. One attributed to tech journalist Kara Swisher ("the most sophisticated AI language model is like a mirror...") was disowned by her, who said she "never said that"; further misattributed quotes involved other named figures. The author disclosed using ChatGPT and Claude during research, writing and editing.
What happened as a result
Rosenbaum acknowledged a "handful of improperly attributed or synthetic quotes" and said he was working with editors to review and correct affected passages; future editions to be corrected.
