Earlier today the LA Times had AI-generated counterpoints to a column from @gustavoarellano.bsky.social. His piece argued that Anaheim, the city he grew up in, should not forget its KKK past.
The AI "well, actually"-ed the KKK. It has since been taken off the piece.

Embarrassing that this was up all day claiming an official FB DOGE account harassed this man. The reporter didn’t look into it at all. There is no official doge account on Facebook and it wasn’t hard to figure out.
