So... you're saying AI use is a novelty that mostly appeals to 13-year-olds, half of whose components don't work or else break the first time you use them, and which is cumbersome and slows down the process for which it's intended?

When I was trying to 'sell in' to the BBC the YouGov survey we commissioned, showing a terrifying collapse in confidence amongst the UK's trans population, I was repeatedly told that Alison Holt who wrote this mess 👇🏻 was the closest the Beeb had to anyone interested in fairness on the issue.
Entirely typical of the BBC's treatment of trans people that it presents Michael Foran, who is literally on the advisory Board of the Sex Matters hate group, as an independent expert.
