I also noticed that he used ChatGPT to read notes in "old-fashioned" handwriting (i.e., cursive), and I can't stress how problematic it is to rely on ChatGPT for that. Having tried it myself many times, it's completely unreliable and makes things up.

It wasn't so much the personalities they objected to--they thought they made good points but weren't very funny--but rather that they were too old. My grandparents were 80 at the time but didn't want to be associated with "old people."

It frosts me a bit that for my "Jimmy," I scrupulously documented every fact to general indifference, but Patterson is famous, so he can make things up, admit to making things up, and will have a best-seller and a TV series deal in short order.
