"Some people say, “I just use it to brainstorm ideas.” If you don’t know what to paint or compose or write, you’re in the wrong job. Art is the business of making up stuff — go make up some stuff. [...] Some people say, “I just use it for research. It only gets things wrong or hallucinates crazy stuff 30 percent of the time.” I don’t need a research assistant that gets things wrong 30 percent of the time. I can do that myself. "

Analysis Summary
A New York Times opinion writer argues that AI is unsuitable for creative brainstorming and research because it hallucinates errors regularly. The author, who says they love AI, contends that creative professionals who need idea generation should rely on their own skills rather than a tool that fails roughly 30% of the time — and that researchers deserve better accuracy than AI currently provides.
Claims Analysis (2)
“AI systems get things wrong or hallucinate 'crazy stuff' approximately 30 percent of the time”
AI hallucination is documented. The 30% figure is the author's rough estimate, not a precise statistic.
“Artists and writers should not use AI for brainstorming if they lack creative direction”
This is the author's professional judgment. Reasonable position but not universally shared.
