      Yeah it’s a famous Onion style account, local to me. At the risk of having every single one of my comments just be ranting about my country, this checks out. It feels like everyone around me, regardless of how original their thoughts are, sees anything you might input with a keyboard in English as a rough draft that exists only to be “corrected” by a slop filter.

      I am even catching clunkily translated GPT-isms in Arabic-language ads on the radio. I thought it was funny that we had one of the highest ChatGPT users per capita soon after it launched (according to many dubious infographics at least, I can’t find them now so I guess that was overblown), but it’s been shit. Especially as my own writing is a bit mechanical, since my English is much more informed by reading than speaking. I love getting accused of not doing my job when I’m the only one on my team doing it.

      The people behind this page seem to have a refreshingly witty sense of humor but they still felt like they needed to make a few pulls down at the slop machines to make it look good, it even watered down the messaging :(
