Who’s a Better Writer: A.I. or Humans? Take Our Quiz. (Gift Article) A.I. chatbots contain the sum of all human knowledge. That can make them pretty good writers.

I found it very easy to correctly identify the human authors here, which is how I took the test. But the question the test asks is "which reads better?" and the majority of New York Times "readers" preferred the AI-written passages. What does this say about the newspaper, I wonder

I love how the human author at the end describes Cormac McArthy's syntax as a "mistake"

Congratulations to the capitulating law firms for being a useful foil to those standing firm in the DOJ’s very first footnote.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

I don’t know why Dem polls don’t understand this simple fact: we will vote for you if you are a decent person who truly believes in something and will stand by it.

They’re 2x to 3x more likely to have high lead levels in their blood than young people. But the peak ages are those of us now 50-60 years old. We are the ones who ate the paint chips off the floor and played outside in the leaded gasoline fumes.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

Legolas Gimli side by side meme edited to say:

Never thought l'd die fighting side by side with an LLM

That's a great point Gimli. You're really getting to the core of things here. It shows a lot of insight that you understand how necessity based alliances have historic precedent while still being uncomfortable for their participants

I have to walk by one of these β€œbaby boxes” at the fire station once a day and of all the dystopian things thrust in front of me on a regular basis, this one is the most. The absolute elimination of all humanity from the individual or collective care of babies.

I read a couple of the mainstream media pieces about this guy and just thought "oh for a second there I will understand what the youth are talking about." Then I read this piece highlighting all the artifice and I felt like an idiot, but in a positive and helpful way.
