some of the "written" passages are completely unhinged, "Its discovery highlights Australia’s unique role in reshaping the boundaries between myth and science."

Nope, the article says it's an artistic rendition (that has then likely been edited by 3rd parties)
And the original research (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...) has no such picture, it is entirely artistic, based on the research.
It is not a photograph.

The artist rendition looked different, but with the same proportions/color palette, so I'm wondering if this is an AI filter to avoid credit.

People decided to call them "Gestapo" in several replies, and I got genuinely confused when OTHER replies were talking about... the Gestapo (the German one)
Brunch libs desperately need to face reality, and stop renaming or redefining everything.

Not trying to be weird, but *once* reading the ingredient list, and then conceptualizing it in my head "oh, it's pure butter goo with some coacoa powder in it" really did wonders, I was horrified! I'm now down to 1 jar of chocolate spread every decade or so.

I mean, they got a whole arsenal worth of responses already, from the good old "ackchually its called epebo - - -" to "isn't the age of consent in Japan - - - " to "hell yeah, child brides :O"

Feel like adding; this is different from Google's "Did you mean?" since the "human verbosity" of the AI truly *did* suggest there was something wrong with my memory! It's a very distinct response from a search engine

It's one of the inherent flaws of AI, it *cannot* imagine or know - so it cannot conceptualize a novel idea (such as a scientific speculation)
Twice, Googling brand new papers, the "AI overview" has gone on to suggest that maybe I'm misremembering things, with the correct search result *right* below

For a simple example, the side-jokes in Tropic Thunder, the blackface element and the full R-word sequence; both are well written comentary on hollywood white-washing and hollywood ableism respectively, but are *easily* misinterpreted as "lol, they say it, they say the thing!" to the point of fame.

They're just derranged - otherwise they wouldn't do any of the insane things they do, they're completely out of their minds, and for all sorts of reasons, we all hand them authority, even now, we are beholden to their insane statements, trying to make sense of them, cus we depend on them.

I dunno if it's a real thing, but in my own experience, the bigger the animal - the thicker, harder, darker meat it produces; chicken (mild flavor) -> pork -> beef -> whale (thick proteiny flavor)
I'm guessing a bronto-burger woulda been on the heftyer side!

What's worse, it probably wouldn't sell if it *wasn't* exemplary preserved in some way, like the famous Spinosaurid skull, or the multitudes of pristine ?Conchoraptors?
The rarer, the better preserved, the more valuable, it's maddening to think about
