Can you post photos on here? I took an incredible photo in Rhyl a few years back. What a place, where Mancunian drug addicts go to retire.

Haha yeah you can! Please do!

I'll have to find it. 👍

It's a sublime work of art. But it won't let me post. Can I email it?

Don't forget Scousers.

Those with drug debts in Liverpool usually retreat to North Wales.

As a Mancunian, I couldn't possibly comment 😊

Let the cat line dance on the keyboard for half an hour.

Save as an article. Feed to Pangram. Delete article.

Repeat, across Substack, ad infinitum. Baffle the machine.

Or do it once, and turn off AI at that point. But let it keep that first wall of gibberish. That is the toll for making people jump through the hoop in the first place.

I opted out of AI scraping when I set up my account, so this extra “see if she’s human” is galling. Like you, “I’m way too talented and egotistical to let a robot write anything for me.”

I’ll probably be flagged because I’m polite, I use big words and I use em-dashes. Rolling my eyes SO HARD at this, Georgina…💕

It turns substack into a weird place and destroys community. It's gross!

Trapped baby gulls’r’us. Very much not sure what to do with all the pangram nonsense, apart from ignore it. How can it square with the ‘not allowing my writing to train AI’ option I chose two years ago?

Georgina Bruce's avatar

I know. It makes me not want to post anything here at all. I think substack just effed itself and looks like that was the plan all along.

Ha! I don't have a cat handy. Should have got Stevenie to do it!
