Margaret Atwood, the author known for works such as The Handmaid's Tale and The Blind Assassin, spoke at the Babell Literary and Cultural Festival in Porto, Portugal, where the topic of artificial intelligence was addressed. Atwood mentioned that she had used an AI chatbot, Anthropic's Claude, once and found it unsatisfactory. She sought information about the British detective series Father Brown and reported that the AI provided incorrect information, stating, "Claude gave me the wrong answer, or it lied. Of course, it didn't know it was lying because it's not a human being; it's a large language model."
