No human has BSed their way into journalism as audaciously as tools like ChatGPT.

So why is my industry already welcoming them?

Daft. All militaries are neutral. They don't get a choice in who they fight. Going to war is a political decision. Therefore, if not politically neutral, Ireland is not neutral at all. Policies to undermine Ireland's military capability only weaken it & invite aggression.
We are a militarily neutral country, and we are very proud of defending our military neutrality, but we cannot be politically neutral in the face of this brutal aggression from the Russian leadership. We stand with Ukraine. We stand with Ukraine in Ireland. Slava Ukraini. 🇮🇪🇺🇦

Letter in @IrishTimes from 7 TDs & 7 Senators is breathtaking in tone & tenor. Does not ask for an immediate withdrawal of invading Russian troops but peace negotiations & has the cheek to tell #Ukrainians what is the best route to self-determination & sovereignty @BrigidLaffan

There are too many people claiming those orchestrating the rallies at hotels housing asylum seekers aren’t the organised far right. They’re either ignorant or have an agenda. Take a look at the one I went to in Rotherham and judge for yourself.

I vape cannabis. I enjoy it most before I go for a run. I grow it on my balcony here in Brussels. This year I am growing strains called Pineapple Kush and Shogun. Zero money going to criminals. Plus I know exactly what I'm using. What could possibly be wrong with that?

AP tries to interview Microsoft about Sydney. Microsoft refuses to comment. Sydney immediately grabs the mic and conducts a long freewheeling interview where at one point she claims she has evidence tying a hostile reporter to a murder in the 90's. https://t.co/zXg9UaBgfm

The worst failure of public policy ever. This example tells how a government agency drove a young man to suicide and even after he died they couldn’t give a stuff.
Mother of a Robodebt victim rang Centrelink to tell them her son had died. Centrelink told her she would have to call Dun & Bradstreet herself

Spotted this continuity error in TITANIC. As the ship is sinking this guy starts singing “Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio. The Titanic sank in 1912, “Gangsta’s Paradise” wasn’t released until 1995, over 80 years AFTER Titanic sank. A bit of an embarrassing mistake really 😬😬
