I was typing, and my editor flagged it as a ‘Strong resemblance to AI text’. Kinda bollox. And, so I rant on my blog – 1984, Minority Report. Even Handmaid's Tale. Handmade, a tale.

Thanks cyberhacktivist! I'm glad someone is watching our six while the government is playing 1984's Thought Police.

OTTAWA - The Privacy Commissioner of Canada today held a press conference regarding the digital attack on Telus Canada's networks and information systems. Telus recently announced that attackers had claimed to have exfiltrated nearly 1 petabyte of company data, including customer data, equivalent to approximately 250,000 DVD movies.

The Commissioner announced a full investigation will take place. He also indicated that Canadian consumers should not be excessively worried about the breach of their personally identifiable information (PII), as the attackers will still be obligated to follow the requirements of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada's data privacy law since passage in 2000.

The funny thing about AI chatbots is that they are potentially useful only when asked for, particularly in coding, where I may need pointers. Otherwise, they become essentially Clippy 2.0, for which I scroll past the chatbot's response to a search query as quickly as possible. What a public relations disaster it has been.
