I remain bearish about generative AI and info quality. But I’ll celebrate developments that increase user agency and platform transparency.

The "Key Frame Selection and Enhancement" Service (KSE) is back in action! Happy analyzing! 😀
Dear users of our #verification plugin:
On Friday 21 November from 9 am CET, the "Key Frame Selection and Enhancement" Service (KSE) will undergo some maintenance work - and, as a result, be offline for some hours. It should be back in action later that day.
