This was obviously generated by ChatGPT or whatever, and obviously posted by accident. Leaving it up on the front page does nothing to benefit Boing Boing. What’s going on here? Does flagging a contributor in the BBS raise any alarms anywhere?
Do we need to wonder if any other contributions from this person are AI?
FWIW, ‘Ellsworth Toohey’ is a character in The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, which is a coinkeydink that did give me pause.
