Repeat after us: you cannot learn a language 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙨 speak through AI generated content.

I originally thought it a good thing when dog-whistling politicians finally allowed their racism to show overtly. I thought they’d be seen for what they were, booted off the media and thrown out of their parties. I was a fool.
