       I wish a media critic with clout would ask the New York Times if it is still employing the reporter who did this -- read the "Editor's Note" attached to the end of the story; screenshot here -- and, if so, why.https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/world/canada/election-carney-liberal-party.html

       @dangillmor that would be an excellent way to keep people like Fetterman from pulling the crap he did to get elected, maybe, or at least a way to dump him or her if their stripes change mid-stream.

       @dangillmor Remember when Jayson Blair got dragged over the coals and fired for making up interviews and quotes?  I think we're quickly sliding down that path with LLMs, but it will now be acceptable, or at least non-fire-able, because they are all using LLMs to write stories now.

       @dangillmor If a politician is elected and switches parties after the election, would "turncoat" not be an accurate description?I mean, yes, AI slop and a false quote are both issues.  But "turncoat" seems a fairly good summary.

       @dangillmor I read that the "reporter" is the Canada bureau chief.
