Interesting. The examples cited as AI are very close in language to marketing-speak/corporate bullshit.

Very sorry to hear of the death of Bríd McGrath. Wonderfully energetic and endlessly generous scholar, and a great woman to have a glass with.

Pippin is a great hit with Rod's pupils, a talented one of whom made the teeny model Pippin as an end of year pressie! #catsky #calicoish #torbie-n-white #tortitudeinspades

Plus: the #pope's mother was a librarian

Two different varieties of bluebell in our garden. #bloomscrolling #spring
'Spanish' bluebells: upright habit. In a blue pot with balsam geraniums 'Native' bluebells, slightly drooping habit and more intense blue. In a pot with a penstemon which is pretty much crowded out!
