THE FUSE

Even if I were to play devil’s advocate, it would be tough to find a reason that justifies the existence of generative AI. It’s terrible for the environment, it steals people’s work without consent, it can be used to produce nasty deepfakes–I could go on, but I’m already preaching to the choir here. However, even with all this in mind, I think I have finally discovered one genuine benefit for the technology; over the weekend, I watched it bork the transcription of a fake WWE news channel so hard that it made me laugh until my ribs hurt.
