It&#39;s not just romance, either. I came to the unpleasant realisation that I&#39;ve recently read some psychological thrillers that are very probably AI-generated, with varying degrees of &#34;author&#34; edits to make them readable. Some of them were ok, albeit with some elements that didn&#39;t seem to work that well, one degenerated into an unholy mess for the last 20% of the &#34;novel.&#34; I don&#39;t know exactly how many AI books I&#39;ve read, as a lot of it comes down to the rate of publication being too high, and that can be hidden by the use of pseudonyms, or using different publishers. I don&#39;t really want to read books that people haven&#39;t bothered to write, either fully or in part, but it&#39;s going to become more difficult to do that. 2026-02-23T09:55:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfvr2edjrn38hflnkhm8wl9jev3qnq4ftp5v95zkp26kvazld6plczyqk9qeert4zqk63aqjppvlxwcq9p9tpadyl5x3jnr3m36pmac8x5xpak2d0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsre2f8qdd43va5230l4yhuv24tm473rv430vx0gv7d97rt0jxqrcgnhfwqv'>nevent1q…fwqv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Q: What did Watson and Crick discover?<br/><br/>A: Rosalind Franklin&#39;s notes. 2025-11-09T09:28:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2738f8zpk5y92599ya9pzmxcsts96dxux6072rmet4dv82zu6fdgzyqk9qeert4zqk63aqjppvlxwcq9p9tpadyl5x3jnr3m36pmac8x5x0nfams In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsydrvtc5hdh35ymtdddhhvc9yg7wtpxgpkpsexw74yzzhlwccry3smqfacw'>nevent1q…facw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That&#39;s a turnip? 2025-08-20T07:48:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvpt9v2nwfwjlyg6jzq27p3ph83vmfq7k6mzdyf7meagz57gtqa4czyqk9qeert4zqk63aqjppvlxwcq9p9tpadyl5x3jnr3m36pmac8x5x99f59s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrjc9pkqatlh6n9t2dj0f29fuhcf6hxa3mpsftez4lkfyc7wmg3eqslrcjm'>nevent1q…rcjm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes, that is how you pronounce Ely. <br/><br/><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ely,_Cambridgeshire">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ely,_Cambridgeshire</a> 2025-07-25T09:40:47Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyc85aah86l7de7ezmu00vfhe0g4ewj83hfdj6665jjvgfa8luacszyqk9qeert4zqk63aqjppvlxwcq9p9tpadyl5x3jnr3m36pmac8x5x9e6sc5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf4mslqvnstppzuwzj0q23782m7frx5l0fqdud9eawa5j7nu647rg3ud2s6'>nevent1q…d2s6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Similar feelings about the yet to be released final of Good Omens and everything else that has been messed up because of that one person. 2025-07-14T08:43:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv0adnr3p0vvcjjvrrk6jxudvx9rxyad3gnx2lssltefmdg3qc9tszyqk9qeert4zqk63aqjppvlxwcq9p9tpadyl5x3jnr3m36pmac8x5xusqsg0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxxg9xcgj5w9uqmqsm9mv452fk5x0za4uyut02fd34dxqn2et39rq46vaps'>nevent1q…vaps</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think we&#39;re supposed to top it up with any meagre returns from any pension pots that we may have built up, if we have any. 2025-07-08T14:20:10Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfdk6c0nnswl8d7pydw4fjmp8gmts6mpvpujm92safr60nxx9w4fgzyqk9qeert4zqk63aqjppvlxwcq9p9tpadyl5x3jnr3m36pmac8x5xyqepsn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfk0pj2fklgvfqhtvws5dygjrnz2txsucdgr7fzl4n072hcjlaxqqt2d0tu'>nevent1q…d0tu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Looks like you could punch or kick through that brown one no problem, but the security bar is a very nice touch. 2025-05-26T07:05:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqyqtlx2y7fq79chjq7cqjgl5yr2x58z4z9pjk70j703cx4660x4czyqk9qeert4zqk63aqjppvlxwcq9p9tpadyl5x3jnr3m36pmac8x5xudlhgu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdlepjqyy8wd24u8rxtwplalmp7ql684ehl4lp94kgkfnqnmyc3rsevnpnc'>nevent1q…npnc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If the world of work is low-paid, insecure jobs with high stress and expectations, is it surprising that people aren&#39;t engaged with it? 2025-04-28T08:51:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsr2f886a5jptuk42tlhjuvham466mj0hkwrnjpce77r8df4m525gqzyqk9qeert4zqk63aqjppvlxwcq9p9tpadyl5x3jnr3m36pmac8x5xd62xq8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszf7jqmlsxnfxxav6fhzj558kyj5e7eqymmjrvs9fwnjl8hngpfpqgzzrn7'>nevent1q…zrn7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;According to the White House, the act of selling more goods to the US than the US sells to you, is by definition &#34;cheating&#34; and is deserving of a tariff that is calculated to correct that imbalance.&#34; 🤣 2025-04-06T09:54:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswczppepl9hxdqqfadj84hga9vsqh2x2d2gyjmk0snct4s7nhcppczyqk9qeert4zqk63aqjppvlxwcq9p9tpadyl5x3jnr3m36pmac8x5xp286pr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqns8uxd8zdecp27p5q0sux74x5l9tlshsmj7d9gwveuymrn30v0g34uw97'>nevent1q…uw97</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m aware that smart watches may under or overcount steps, however as my goal is to spend less time sitting down, and more time being active in some way, it will probably work as a record of daily activity.
