Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

For the first time in Brazilian history, generals are serving time for attempted coup d'état. Brazilian democracy emerges bigger, stronger, and more complete. One of the strongest democracies in the world showing how it's done with those who conspire against freedom.

I once taught a whole lesson on the narratives of deservedness in the very strange concept of “stealing” books from something conspicuously branded as a “free” little library. The students struggled with it. A lot of internalized beliefs about poverty and worth. But I think it was a good lesson.
If you are concerned about people swiping books from your little free library and reselling those books, I ask you to go to your local used bookstore and sell a book
Okay?
Understand?
Alright, next question

ATENÇÃO: Estudo aponta que a vacina contra o papilomavirus humano (HPV) gera proteção de até 80% contra o câncer cervical se administrada até os 16 anos. A pesquisa também aponta que proteção permanece significativa mesmo se administrada depois desta idade.

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai.
so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

The question, “Why do you think the government can solve this problem?” is really “why do you think all of us together can solve this problem?”
I believe we can solve this problem because we are capable. Together, we have solved harder problems than this.

Yes. This. Changing your replies to followers only makes a huge difference for larger accounts. The only "downside" is once a month or so someone who can't read/follow instructions yells "this fucker turned off comments!" at you. It's better than many more randos missing the point & yelling though.
