While digging around their website, I found their ethics policy—including a section on AI-generated content. I suspect that’s a part of what happened here. And I’m upset about that too! I did NOT speak to a journalist with the assumption that my interview would be funneled into producing AI slop.

Ironically, my original interview with the journalist I spoke with was primarily about how "inconsistencies" can come from gender bias in investigatory processes and then be blamed on survivors. It was the inspiration for this thread--but none of these points made it into any USA Today article:

Emily Marris bought raw milk from a farm recommended to her on Facebook. After her 17-month-old drank it, the toddler contracted E. coli and nearly died. Despite knowing this, the farmer continued advertising “raw goat milk from a clean tested herd.”

Once again, we should not have a death penalty. But so long as we do, firing squad is the actually humane way to do it. But we don't do that because it allows society to understand that the death penalty is fucking barbaric and that killing people is not an appropriate use of government power.

We "can't" defund the police, but we can defund public education increasingly for 60 years, which results in more police actions to attack people left adrift in a spiteful nation. Round and round we go on "Whose Problem Is It Anyway?"

I read a couple hundred death penalty cases for a case once and I think you’d all be shocked at how often this happens. The death penalty is one of the cruelest things in our system, an obvious violation of the 8th amendment cruel and unusual punishment clause, but we just love to kill.

This is horrific. Lethal injection has never been a reliable means of execution, because doctors with the necessary expertise refused to help develop the process, and most drug companies don’t want to supply the substances used. It is a story of cruelty and incompetence.
