Not from a museum or historical society, but I caught two railroad groups who SHOULD have known better sharing this example of AI garbage on their Facebook accounts:

Both cases I'll chalk up to "undertrained" Facebook page moderators.

Yikes! To us in the know, that video is ridiculous. However, I think 90+% of the population wouldn't know that was AI slop or care.

Hi
My two cents,, (AI) is not the answer to everything,, yes it is a new tool,, But the new tool as new tools go,, can be wrong....
Just because AI has come out,, it does Not Hold all the answers,, yes it can a Virtual answer, But is it the right and correct answer..
Take (AI) with a grain salt,, it might right,, but is It.. ????
But I guess it all depends what you are looking for,, in today's world of computers,,
( AI) can suggest,, but IS it always the right answer... Pat.

Even the AI companies state that whatever AI spits out must be verified by humans....

AI is not infallible.
