Lead story on TV3's 6 pm news (on TV, not yet on website):
Luxon flounders when challenged on National's use of AI in their ads.
The real problem is not so much the misleading ads (it's National, it's what they do), but the leader being clueless. Nobody tells him anything, apparently. It's almost as though the Nat staffers are deliberately undermining their leader, to make him look bad … now why would they do that?
Chuck E. Weiss: [was] Extremely Cool.
Nats and Luxon, the gift that just keeps on giving. “ Trust us , we don’t lie, it’s the AI. “.
It really is a fuck up a week. Keep it up youse guys.
And sharing can at times be good for all of us, so a url would have been helpful; if I have time I will look fir it tomorrow . . .
Google "Luxon". Any NZ news. That's all you need. Takes less time than typing here.
Indeed, National cannot be trusted and it appears National cannot trust Luxon. At least they now have an excuse for their next shambles; instead of blaming an ‘emotional junior staffer’ they can now blame it on ChatGPT having a hissy. I feel for the chatbots working for National.

Nothing to see here… Nope no pogroms happening at all.

Refuge camps now, how very 1940's.
As Bradbury's Martians left us the Grand Canal, perhaps it is time to consider leaving something of lasting aesthetic value for whatever disruptive new species emerge from the ruin of our biosphere.
or we fight to save as much as we can.
