Welp, the Chaser's article on the Adelaide Writer's Week, calling it the Adelaide Writer's Afternoon, has infiltrated the Edge AI summary. 'Hilariously', the AI summary combines the parody article with real news, so it could very easily trick people not in the know.

Evidence of mass killings by RSF in El-Fasher, Sudan, are chilling. They must be a wake up call for the rest of the planet too. Countries must be pressured to stop sending weapons into their proxy war in Sudan. It starts with acknowledging the horror.

The Government justified a clamp down on freedom of information requests by claiming an increase in malicious and automated FOI attempts. Only problem is, there's no evidence of such a thing.
Our research showed that the number of FOI requests has not increased, but processing time has. 🔗⤵️ #auspol
