I always enjoy your writing @benjedwards.com and especially appreciate your use of the correct term ("confabulation") to describe this specific AI misbehavior! Cheers! arstechnica.com/ai/2025/01/a...

this! 💯 best take I've seen on software dev + AI: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/how-ai-wil... tl;dr - there's lots more to it than generating code image by Copilot 😏
I love to (aspirationally) check out books that I want to have read and then I fail to read them before the app automatically returns them for me. I read some of them tho! 🥴 (I do love libraries and I enjoy visiting in person from time to time, too.)
It also makes it harder for them to ban books.
A long, worthwhile read! 👍 Two things I'll highlight: - the forest metaphor wonderfully crystallizes how the "meritocracy" fell short - while I am hopeful AI can broaden access to high quality educational resources and lifelong learning, we shouldn't expect it to replace great teachers!

The meritocracy isn’t working. We need something new.
