LLMs are spam generators. That is all.
They're designed to generate plausibly human-like text well enough to pass a generic Turing Test. That's why people believe they're "intelligent".
But really, all they are is spam generators.
We have hit the spamularity.

I just had to open each page's edit window, copy the table into a blank word processor document, use "Convert table to text" with paragraph breaks selected as the divider, copy and paste the text back into the edit window, make whatever minor tweaks were necessary (including reloading inline images that didn't come through right), and save.

Site upgrade: Annotations glitch
In the "please pardon our dust" department, I've discovered that a number of my older annotations pages, which were in a table format carried over when I copied them from my old pre-WordPress website, do not translate well to my new site format, because the headings' table boxes are only one character wide and very hard to read. Unless I can figure out an easy fix, it looks like I'll have to manually reformat every annotations page one by one, which could take a while.
