From the CBC: Can Libraries Stop AI Slop From Flooding Their Shelves?
From The Current (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation):
AI slop is everywhere – and now it’s hitting libraries. AI-generated books are slipping into library catalogues and even landing on physical shelves. Some are so polished that even librarians are fooled. We hear from journalist Emanuel Maiberg on how this industry is exploding, and from Laura Winton, executive director of the Manitoba Library Association, and Jennie Rose Halperin, executive director of Library Futures, on how this could erode trust in libraries – and what readers need to look for.
