Something smells bad here.

When Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere, he stopped in at the CBC (Canadian) news blog site. There our traveling kitty found a post about the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) organization. Panzer posted a few days ago about the issue covered in the CBC's post.

NaNoWriMo and AI - Various

There's a lot of people unhappy right now.

Today everywhere Panzer went he found posts about the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) organization and it's recently published stand on AI. Part of the problem NaNoWriMo caused was by the words and phrases used and part of it was accepting as a sponsor a company that uses a chatbot. There's more to the problems, so you'll need to read the posts below to get the information. (Sorry about the bad wordspro in some of the posts, but people are angry.)

 

 Panzer says, "Be sure to read the Comments sections for the posts that have them.."

A Monday Panzerism

 Panzer on board games:

I love playing checkers with Mom and What's His Name.

Especially the part where the noble jungle kitty sneaks through the tall carpet grass.

He waits patiently.

You're free. Fly away!*

He slithers forward ...

and ...

pounces on the checker board where all the plastic pieces take flight ...

like ...

a herd of butterflies.

* From Cat Wisdom for humans

Happy Labor Day
