The professor in question also has an Instagram with such… helpful?… diagrams as this one. Literally *not one* of these labels is correct! www.instagram.com/p/DOb3BkBEY1i/

An AI-generated image with the title "imaging Wednesday - Cell Structure: Explore organelles & their functions". The center of the cell has labels of "Nuleus" and "Nucelous", both placed along its edges. The membrane network under it is labeled "Enodopmisch reticulum". The group of small circular organelles to the right of that is labeled "Smouth".

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 16h

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I do not think Trump knows this.

Adam Klasfeld @klasfeldreports.com · 18h

Trump knows he was president on Jan. 6. He’s simply lying to rewrite the history of his attempted coup.

Just like Trump knew he lost the 2020 election and lied to fraudulently subvert the results.

I’m willing to entertain the idea that only the leadership and sworn agents should be [redacted].

The rest can be tarred, feathered, and driven screaming into the wilderness.

Professor pandalai's Rating on Rate My Professors for BIO2100

Worst prof i've ever had. textbook is made using chatgpt and a ton of the info she gives us is wrong. Complains when we ask questions in class, literally the worst.

Based on the publisher, the professor's reviews, and the TikTok user's location, I'm pretty sure this is the textbook in question:

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

It looks like the "publisher" specializes in slop:

Terrible stock/Ai illustrations on "Introduction to Human Anatomy Laboratory" by Dawn Hunter, PhD:

Another slop textbook cover: Clinical Human Anatomy: A Pre Medical Approach to BIO 2100/2101 by Dr. Uma Pandalai

https://he.kendallhunt.com/product/human-anatomy-5

Anatomy & Physiology I Course Guide by Patrick McArthur. Same slop as image #1.

More slop. Anatomy and Physiology Innovation: An Active Learning Lab Manual by Jennifer Carr.

Literally in tears. People outside of healthcare have no idea how devastating this is.

Like, I had a subscription as part of my job as an infection control nurse.

I feel sick.

Just in case: MMWR is a key frontline indicator for outbreaks. The first subtle hint of AIDS was in that publication. This is the pale horse that Death rides.

in my humble opinion it is journalistic malpractice for a verified account to be sharing garbage AI-generated news videos because they're too stupid and lazy to verify their sources

this video is AI generated. the reporter has three arms and people in the background phase in and out of each other, and it comes from an AI sharing account

She is a completely precedented choice for the prize.

No. She’s also praised him as a “visionary” and encouraged him to attack more Venezuelan boats.

We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!
