1 week ago Manchester United in a funk after coastal sojourn to Grimsby turns Super Bad | Football Daily

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Fifty-five years have passed since James Brown, singer, songwriter and minister of new super-heavy funk, released a song about people who “like a dull knife [that] just ain’t cutting”, were “talking loud and saying nothing”. Manchester United would probably have preferred to prompt thoughts of Brown’s I Feel Good but they are where they are – and if they ever do shake their money-makers they could probably then benefit from dropping a few of them. Sometimes we don’t get to choose which 70s deep funk classic we unwittingly call to mind, and Ruben Amorim left no doubt when after Wednesday night’s ineffably miserable defeat by Grimsby he opined about feeling “my players spoke really loud today At half-time I told them that they were speaking really loud to me. I understand what you are doing, what I am seeing.” Like a dull knife, they just weren’t cutting.Physically, because they’re small, they look like wee boys. They’re clearly not w...

1 week ago ChatGPT has its uses, but I still hate it – and I’ll tell you why | Imogen West

It’s bad for the planet and could make many jobs – including mine – obsolete. But my loathing runs deeper than thatIt’s one of those topics that comes up over drinks or dinner at the moment: whether or not you think AI is going to steal your job. So far, I’ve felt relatively confident that while AI could no doubt have a fair crack at writing a newspaper opinion column, there is something I do as part of my work that AI cannot: reporting.Except now, it seems, AI is claiming to be doing that as well. Last week, it was revealed that at least six reputable publications have had to take down published articles because it turned out that they were probably pieces of fiction written by AI and then passed off by somebody as works of journalism under the name of Margaux Blanchard. One of these was a piece for Wired titled They Fell in Love Playing Minecraft. Then the Game Became Their Wedding Venue, which quoted a “digital celebrant” called Jessica Hu, who does not seem to actually exist. An...
