If there’s any doubt left, google “people magazine AI slop”. It’s like the fast metastasizing cancer of all culture.
People isn’t what it once was … if it was ever anything ….
“Jim Walden who was a hammer radio operator.”
“a Hammarlund HQ-One Forty Five 145C Ham Shortwave Radio Receiver”
And they repeat that exact string later.
Can you say “AI”? I knew that you could!
The article mentions “a hammer radio operator”. That’s what you are when you get frustrated and decide to destroy your rig!
What a fun collection of articles! Thank you for the Joe Walsh article!
