Out of curiosity, I asked Gemini to reformat tabular content into paragraphs.

Not a task that requires context or interpretation - just donkey work. It fully started making up content that was nowhere in the table. This is the first and only time I've used the tool.

Square cropped image looking along the side of a small stone viaduct among autumnal bracken on an overcast day. It’s maybe 100m long or so and runs along a hillside just below the crest.

An old dilapidated garage with peeling wooden doors between red brick pillars. Above is a ghost sign. A small fir tree has taken root out front.

Side view from very slightly above. A squirrel is hunched up on the top ridge of a felt roofed garage with its eyes closed, basking in the sun.

Did not think a squirrel would nap in such an exposed spot.
