This is the largest veteran led protest since Vietnam. We didn't ask for permission or get a permit. So the cops are here. Oh well, we continue mission.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Phillips Black, Inc.@phillipsblackinc.bsky.social · 6mo agoWe found ethical violations. More than 1/3 violated the duty of confidentiality and/or the attorney-client privilege. 1/4 disclosed info Finley-filers learned from their clients.
