Largely irrelevant since the 80s. Once knew things about social media. Still trying to find a decent Welsh Cake in Australia.
If you look up the definition of “consistently inept” in the dictionary, you’ll find this English cricket team #Ashes

There’s a lot of bad AI adverts out there. And some surprisingly effective ones. Much the same as for humans. What does this mean? A few thoughts…
Can AI adverts ever be as effective as human creative?
AI-generated ads aren't always slop, even if the execution has a long way to go.

This may be one of the best Welsh performances I can remember since probably that Belgium quarter final in 2016. Bellamy has got his tactics perfect.

Wow. Australia Cup final has got off to a flyer. Constant action, Heidelberg looked dangerous for the first 8 minutes. No surprise to see them taking the lead. This feels like a cracker.

Every episode we've ever made is available online - over 400 hrs of content - so it's likely that the machines used to build this have got a bit of us inside them. Expect these pods to tell you Mike Ashley only offered Alan Pardew an 8 year contract because he believed the world was ending in 2012

This just feels incredibly depressing and another way of gaming the system.

Although in a weird kind of way, weather and pollen reports make sense to do by AI (as do others).
