I'm surprised this didn't attract a lot of discussion. People who posted GenAI output without checking it was correct:

- Ana Navarro-Cardenas, (The View, CNN, X) cites nonexistent hallucinatory(?) Woodrow Wilson pardon of "his brother-in-law Hunter deButts", who didn't exist.

- retracted Esquire article wrongly claiming George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush in 1999 (when GHW Bush had already been out of office for 7 years)

- Occupy Democrats’ executive editor Grant Stern on X
