I’m pretty sure this is AI, mostly for the weird choices of words, inconsistent repetition and (perhaps most significantly) the two steps that are both labeled 6. I miss when people cared about the quality of their work.

Me: it’s important to give both Autism and ADHD the attention they deserve, without conflating the two. A literal national newspaper: (I’m not commenting on the content of the opinion piece, just the choice of category)

Screenshot of an opinion article with the headline “Lisääntyvä adhd-lääkkeiden käyttö lapsilla huolestuttaa” (the increasing use of ADHD medication in children is a concern), with the lede “Olisi tärkeää nostaa nykyistä näkyvämmin esiin myös lääkkeettömiä hoitomuotoja ja tukikeinoja kuten uni ja liikunta” (it’s also important to highlight non-pharmalogical treatments like sleep and exercise).
The category is “Autismikirjo” (the autism spectrum).

The bean haul. #gardening #allotment

A glass dish almost half-filled with green beans.

The high point of the walk, however, was spotting this tiny toad (maybe 3cm long) hiding beside the path. #nature #toad

A tiny dark-green toad camouflaged in some greenery and browning leaves. It’s covered in lots of small warts.

Yesterday was two months since the heart surgery, and today I went into the forest. I only walked a bit over 2km, but it felt good to be getting back to normality a little.

Wide-angle photograph of a (stereotypically Finnish) lake, surrounded by densely-packed, tall green trees and a blue sky with a little cloud, taken from the top of a steep hill near the edge of the lake.

Lots more small birds from the neighborhood and this time it looks like each one gets their own individual hotel room. #birds

A photograph of two pieces of temporary metal fencing, like are used around building sites, in front of a brown wooden apartment building. Almost every square of the metal grid in the fence has a single, tiny, light brown bird sitting inside.

We called into the allotment and I harvested some tiny fruit - I don’t think I’ve ever held so many strawberries in my hand at once before. #gardening #allotment

My hand containing more than 25 tiny strawberries, mostly about 1cm long. In the background, our dog, a brown and white whippet/collie mix is just out of focus, partly obscured by the hand.

This link, believe it or not, is for you to send accessibility feedback. #accessibility #a11y

Screenshot of a “Peruuta maksu” (cancel payment) button, partially obstructing a link that says “Saavutettavuusseloste” (accessibility statement) and another that says “Saavutettavuuspalaute”. There’s almost no contrast between the overlaid links and the button color.
The company name (Verifone Finland Oy) and ID number (0943819-9) are visible in the screenshot, too.
