Interesting. The examples cited as AI are very close in language to marketing-speak/corporate bullshit.

Wikipedia editors trying to fend off the onslaught of AI crap have crowdsourced some telltale signs of LLM-generated writing; it might be handy for editors and proofreaders generally. Thanks to @ellenrykers.com for pointing me to it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

Meantime, Meta thinks a cat is a dog. I also suspect that there has been some 'improvement' of the photo.

MetaAI prompts about a dog under a photo of a cat on a cat rescue page

An example of just how rubbish Meta AI is 😂

Very sorry to hear of the death of Bríd McGrath. Wonderfully energetic and endlessly generous scholar, and a great woman to have a glass with.

Waste. Rubbish. And everywhere...

There's a story to be told about fosterage in Irish families as well: by the tales it was important, traditional, and shaped power relationships. Not a medievalist so don't know what has been done on it, someone on here will know!

Pippin is a great hit with Rod's pupils, a talented one of whom made the teeny model Pippin as an end of year pressie! #catsky #calicoish #torbie-n-white #tortitudeinspades
