Mastodon's AI-aided addition of alt-text is wonderful (everyone should have it). Bonus: How it reads The Times' gothic logo.
Times' lead package this morning is essentially: OMG, so much AI out there.
Politico AI scare language. A program searched the internet. Oh, no.
The anonymous slander campaign against NJ7 candidate Rebecca Bennett gets more disgusting by the day. This just arrived in our mail. No, this doesn't require AI to make a photographic lie. It requires only the dark soul of a chickenshit liar.
