~~AI slop summarizing generic pro and anti vegan talking points. Cool cool cool. This is the state of journalism in the year of our Lord 2025.
Do better, BBC.~~
Edit: My bad. This article was actually from 2017, predating the AI boom - so it's human constructed generic pro and anti vegan talking points. Still sucks tho.
This article is from 2017.
Wow. I didn't catch that. It looked so much like AI slop I didn't check the date 😆
Possibly AI-generated but then it's presented as a summary of the linked article, which is decentish quality. (Assuming that the content is accurate and informative, personally I don't much care if it's written by a human or non-human intelligence, that seems to me like a religious distinction.)
That said, there's a complete blooper in the original (also summarized in the "AI slop"):
This is just balderdash. It's precisely the sheep farming that's preventing the natural regeneration of the Scottish uplands into more biodiverse forests. It's become a classic polemic issue, pitting urban greens against conservative rural types. Disappointing that the Beeb should take sides so egregiously like this.
