I'd expect a company to rush out a feature "because it's AI", with no regard for moral impacts on society or economic damages to the creative class. But to tank trust and reputation of its own product?! Holy moly.

1) Yeah they better have not. That would have been the end of the federal Liberals in downtown Toronto. 2) What the hell. We really need to fix message delivery. This should be issued on the federal news page prior to or simultaneously with any dissemination on social media.
