Also of interest is James Gleick’s The Parrot in the Machine, New York
Review of Books, July 24, 2025.
Incidentally, and unrelatedly, the same issue contains a heartbreaking
report by David Shulman on the current situation in the West Bank.

well-known critique of LLMs from people currently working and
thinking carefully about all this:

My question to the AI savvies among us would be: is confabulation

feature of LLM?
I have an extremely limited knowledge and experience of AI but my
understanding of LLM's is that they work by choosing the next most
statistically likely word in their answer (again I'm not exactly
clear how they determine that), So there answers aren't based on
any kind of reasoning.
