"Copy what you hear" is good advice outside of ham radio, as well, but it does require careful listening.
My company is getting paid to have me do a webinar on the risks of generative AI, such as OpenAI ChatGPT that everyone is playing with.
Many of those AI programs use what is called a Large Language Model. That model, and others, have been shown to suffer what has been given an odd name - Model Autophagy Disorder, which sounds like it would only inflect those skinny fashion runway walkers...
Basically, if those AI models "eat their own dog food" and ingest their own creations as part of continuous updating of the model, then errors get propagated and increase the likelihood of future errors very quickly.
It is kind of like a bad RBN or cluster spot for BY5IJ getting worked and then respotted by someone S&Ping with a loaded available Mult/Q window and "Spot all S&P" QSOs - with the added impact as if BY5IJ call was also then added to the SuperCheck partial database and all history files. And all that happening at a global scale.
There are known solutions to the problems, we are lucky in contesting in that log checking will get you if don't focus on "hearing before copying" and just rely on spots/history files, etc. and the consequences are mostly focused on you and far from life threatening!
