Soon all they’ll need is someone to turn on/off the lights and a janitor.
Exactly. The KIRO MyNorthwest headline may have been generated by AI… maybe AI has improved since I posted this article: https://qzvx.com/2023/03/15/tell-me-a-story-chatgpt/ but probably not by much.
Results posted in COMMENTS are most revealing of the inaccuracies made by AI.
I hadn’t seen that one, but I did notice a couple of articles saying they were “coming to Washington.” Saying something is in Washington is practically useless as a descriptor, especially for something as insignificant as a fast-food restaurant. Is it in Seattle, Bellingham, Spokane, Walla Walla? (Or D.C. or Washington, North Carolina, for that matter.) But I’m sure it got a lot of clicks it wouldn’t have had because of that.
I’ve found that hearing someone talk about “Washington” in regard to local matters is a big sign they have no knowledge of geography.
