Includes a link to a post about a survey on the pros and cons of using AI in the publishing industry.
Interesting.

The survey addressed the pros and cons of AI use in the publishing industry and libraries and the individuals involved in both. The post includes a link to the survey report.
 
Panzer says, "There's still a lot of unknowns in AI."
