[FRIAM] news is mass

[glen]

Since I'm on a roll spamming the list with AI slop, I figured I'd describe another failure.

I couldn't figure out the 2nd line in the attached picture of the TV screen. I like to think I'm a pretty flexible thinker. But there's NO WAY in hell I ever would have thought to say something like "News are real". Even when Perplexity told me it says "News are real", I didn't believe it. I've even had arguments with grammar nazis over whether or not it's OK to write "data is ...". You'd think I'd have been prepared to believe there exist victims of the grammar nazis who are so traumatized they would put "News are real" on their virtue sign. So cringe. But then again, how cringe is it that I can't even see what's right in front of my face?
