What the actual fuck, Apple
Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that women are being disappeared, tortured, and imprisoned in Saudi Arabia for espousing feminist views online.
Okay friends, it's time to talk about Manahel al-Otaibi - everyone gather 'round.
al-Otaibi was a 29-year old feminist activist in Saudi Arabia when she was jailed for 11 years for charges related to her choice of clothing and her online posts.
