Yeah totally -- and it's not like every AI pitch an editor gets can be turned around into a story like this lol

Competing for $0.50/word on a deeply reported piece with a robot makes it worse, but let's be honest -- no one should be making $0.50/word on a deeply reported piece to begin with

You've also got to read to the very end of this one, what a kicker

Shedeur down to a 0.0 rating

It is now 2.8 but the Ravens are doing their best to blow it

Would be especially funny if the Ravens lose this game

You should come visit the bridge they jump over in the movie -- and lo and behold, it's way down on the South Side next to a dope smokey fish shop, nowhere near the Loop lol

Also, this is just assuming that all tourists only want the Loop stuff -- not that anyone could be interested in visiting a city to experience how its residents actually live

Tourists already have all the infrastructure and support they need to visit the Loop. Why not *also* help them spend a day at a Sox game and the Maritime Museum? At Intuit and dinner in Wicker? Montrose Bird Sanctuary and lunch in Andersonville? Jackson Park and the forthcoming Obama library?

It’s 2019. Mason Rudolph replaces an injured Ben Roethlisberger and leads the Steelers to an underwhelming season.

It’s 2023. Mason Rudolph replaces an injured Kenny Pickett and leads the Steelers to an underwhelming season.

It’s 2025…

lol wait I forgot that in 2019 Rudolph was replaced by “Duck” Hodges
