Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian sketch of a tabby cat serving a mouse! 😁
The artist used a flake of limestone as a sketchpad to draw this comic scene some 3,200 years ago.

The Pawbert is real
Thinking back to when I was a TA (c. 2004) and gave a student a 4/100 on a report that consisted of a few hand written sentences & a xeroxed pic of yeast cells taped to a gridded piece of paper ripped from their lab notebook.
It was supposed to typed.
Hey, you expected a grade, I gave you one

Everyone saying ”giving that essay a zero was probably too harsh, I would have given it like a 70% to avoid conflict” are perfectly demonstrating how the us education system has been successfully dismantled.
