Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

Parts of the Mediterranean Sea reached 30C this week, much earlier than usual, raising fears for marine life.

For some areas, this is 6 or 7C warmer than usual at this time of year.

Across Europe, billions vanish each year into the grey economy — income from legal but undeclared work that escapes taxation. It can include everything from off-the-books construction jobs to cash-in-hand childcare, side gigs, and small business deals that never make it onto the books.

Question: is there any way or platform where I can publish texts of my authorship (like a blog) without feeding any AI?

I would like to know how to completely disable Microsoft Copilot from my software suite.

No, actually, I would really like to know how I can scrape every ounce of it out and burn it all to ashes.

But, if I can't do that, than at least some way to keep it out of my sight. I don't want it.

About Musk's desperation to look “cool”:
"Watching his Nigel-no-friends attempts to be popular, his endless pathetic tweets that read as though they come from the brain of an 11-year-old poser, has made me start to believe we should bring back bullying".
