To know which is all round better I'd need to see how much water the author uses to create the passage vs what the AI uses.
Today, we're publishing Don't Steal This Book - a (mostly) empty book from almost 10,000 authors, protesting the theft of their work by AI companies.

Waste collection and recycling is done by city and district councils.
Send us your leaflets! We'd love to know what claims candidates are making while standing for public office. Are the parties' claims consistent across wards? Are they achievable? Do they even relate to the council for which they are standing?
We'll write it if you send us the leaflets. Email in bio.
I imagine Zeno would be very relaxed about the Trolley Problem.

It feels like so much of what's going on in Oxford seems to come down to bridges, with Botley Road bridge, Donnington Road Bridge, the Ice Rink bridge, Kennington rail bridge and others. Anyway, I've made a whatsapp group for general Oxon bridge chat and fandom. HMU for the link!
Time to ban over-16s from social media
Again, I have to ask: what do people in power think the UK actually *makes*? Because we don't build stuff any more. You and your predecessors deliberately shifted us towards being a service economy a generation ago. All we have going for us is our art, music, educational establishments...
