ICYMI: We made a fun little free puzzle you can play in your browser, in the run up to the release of TR-49 (which is coming shockingly soon)

You may find it revealing.

Dear @acm.org this is a terrible idea. Please reconsider.
The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.
