💯! There's even a word for that in German!
Screenshot of a post saying, "In German, the word "Schiedsrichtertrotzdank", means the simultaneous feeling of annoyance and gratitude you feel when a referee makes a valid point."

This is the abstract to their paper. Nice.
The entire abstract is just a figure from their paper, entitled "Explicit Runge-Kutta-Chebyshev methods of second order with monotonic stability polynomial", by Boris Faleichik and Andrew Moisa.

Everyone: AGI is imminent.

ChatGPT:
Asking ChatGPT: I'd like to have some ascii art that spells out "Coffee". Can you make that? Reply is ascii art of two misspelled words, "COOOES" and "COPPES". Telling ChatGPT: "Those say "COOOES" or "COPPES". Can you just spell "Coffee"? ChatGPT replies with a misshapen ascii art that seems to spell "COCCRD".
