CNN, The View Commentator Ana Navarro-Cárdenas Cites Apparent ChatGPT Hallucination
Isaac Schorr (Mediaite) reports that "The View's Ana Navarro-Cárdenas" posted a tweet defending President Biden's pardon of his son by stating, among other things, "Woodrow Wilson pardoned his brother-in-law, Hunter deButts." But apparently Wilson's never had or pardoned a brother-in-law with that name, Schorr reports. And Navarro-Cárdenas' defense (after being called on her original post by Twitter users) seems to be to point to ChatGPT:
The Twitter comments are quite amusing. See also The Independent (Kelly Rissman).
UPDATE: Apologies for my error: I had originally written "CNN The View Commentator …," but I should have written "CNN, The View Commentator" (and I've now corrected it). Ana Navarro-Cárdenas is a commentator both on CNN and The View. Thanks to commenter jdgalt1 for pointing this out!
