GILES: I was a librarian for years. This is exactly the same, except people pay for the things they don't return. It'll give me focus. Increase my resources. And it'll prevent you lot from trampling all over my flat at all hours. There may even be some space for you to train in the back.
BUFFY: Boy, you've really thought this through. How bored were you last year?
GILES: I watched "Passions" with Spike. Let us never speak of it.

The Herald's position on AI-generated text and images

[thenewbuzwuzz]

We've occasionally linked outputs of things like predictive text engines in the past, especially back when those were an interesting novelty. Now that pretty much the whole world is using ChatGPT, the time of novelty is past, and it's time to clarify where we stand. A summary of this post will be added to the Herald's FAQ for reference.

A very happy ritual sacrifice with pie to all who celebrate!
