What a way for the world to learn about @TexasTribune’s custom CMS, which auto-populates financial disclosures based on keywords in the story.

No one can define what "AI" means, and that's the point.
"It’s a phrase that now functions in the vernacular primarily to obfuscate, alienate, and glamorize."
I applaud this effort to stop giving false agency to a bunch of computers.
