The backlash was immediate, but it didn’t stop the BBC from using text generated by LLMs—and purportedly checked and copy-edited by a human before approval—in two marketing emails and mobile push notifications to advertise Doctor Who.

    People are so dumb they make me actually side with a fucking company. Luddites used to be fun to make fun of until people started actually listening to them.

      The luddites were a labor movement. They fought for the rights of skilled workers to make a living.

        Nah, they were lunatics who thought machines would replace them. Guess what, machines are everywhere and people still have a job.
