I don't actually know any Welsh [yet, yet] and the course is focused on policy and modern language history!

...why has AllTrails added AI slop summaries of trails with the warning that these might be nonsense?

I feel like the "needs this to safely navigate" market segment would hate this a lot?

A screenshot of text shown below an AI summary box reading: This summary is AI-generated from trail reviews and won’t always be perfect.

Blocked off time in my calendar to exercise, to try and build good habits and lower stress.
