i actually don't respect anyone who uses AI. it's another selfish plaything for the global north, which will not face the consequences of its actions until it's the last one standing, all because we are taught that our convenience and pleasure trumps any remaining ethical thought we have.

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!
