A robot reads you Wikipedia.
Ai, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be good.

Guys, I have been looking all over into all sleep with history platforms. There are always at least five people complaining, “oh it’s ai” or, “AHHHHH ITS SLOP STOP WATCHING IT DUMBOS” I’m just saying, ai was meant to be used for good. Isn’t this good? Also, I dare you guys to give some kind of proof it’s from Wikipedia, because I see none, and some people say it is just reading from Wikipedia. The sentences do NOT look like Wikipedia. Just saying, don’t judge unless the ai thing is supporting frickin ICE RECRUITMENT.

Low effort- low quality. Like listening to a third grader write an essay. A lot of filler words and no substance.
