on the topic of not using AI for research, also be aware of using automatic Google results because they rely on AI too and don’t ACTUALLY know what they’re talking about
case in point: oh let’s Google what flowers are safe for cats!
Google: lilies! source? trust me bro
Lilies?
You mean perhaps the most poisonous plant for cats there is? that can cause sudden Organ Shut Down and Death? Thanks Google! Good thing I can rely on your handy suggestions so I don’t have to click on any actual websites and read to make sure your information is correct! (Also tulips and daffodils will also definitely Smite your cat but I’m not sure about the other flowers)
remember just because Google or an AI is telling you something confidently doesn’t mean it actually knows what it’s talking about
I trust no seasoned writer or researcher does this but this is more a message to newer or younger writers or anyone with less experience with Google and how it works
found this informative, about how studios are going to attempt to use influencers (particularly small ones) to try to cross pickets by paying a lot for movie promos, and that SAG-AFTRA likely will not let you in if you do this. my suspicion is they’re hoping people won’t understand the implications so wanted to spread the word!!
remembering that one genre of posts where a local police station’s twitter/facebook account would post something like “BIG BUST! A VIOLENT DRUG DEALER HAS JUST ARRESTED! ONE LESS CRIMINAL WANDERING THE STREETS!” and they post a picture of what was confiscated and its the teensiest weensiest dimebag of pot, a $5 pocket knife, and a rusty 100 year old pistol
@lyridmeteorshower you really thought you could just leave this in the tags? This? Get peer reviewed idiot.
