Rachael King@rachaelking70.bsky.social · last yr.This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Posting a pic of Dodger because I needed a cute cat pic today; maybe you do too.
