Thanks so much for the comments! I worried that my little jab at AI could be seen as encouraging the use of it (I mean, it DOES encourage it's use, but in a way that's supposed to point out how flawed i is), and your comment makes me feel like I fell more on the "go use AI, it's great" side than the "AI is trash and you can easily prove it wrong and win, plus you'll be learning that AI is constantly wrong. In fact, a lot of what we hear is wrong so you should always verify what you learn." In fact, the idea in my head was of you as this experienced journalist stuck with an "AI reporter" who is so trash at their job that you're desperate to get them fired, but your higher-ups will only do it if you can prove they're more trouble than they're worth. But didn't have the space for as much story as I wanted, and with the loss of that, I can see how it'd come across as encouraging even MORE use of AI by people.
When the jam is over, I'll replace that with just, like... using results from the 9th page of internet searches or something 😅 That'd still (likely) capture the "you can't believe what you read online" thing without encouraging the use of AI.
I definitely agree that AI is utter garbage, and thanks for pointing that out about this game :D
