More articles I encounter are not adequately proofread. Glaring mistakes such as writing „quality“ instead of the intended „qualify“ could point to tools such audio transcriptions. At least let a LLM proofread your text if you can‘t or won‘t do it yourself.

It took Apple 17 years of iOS updates for iMessages app to detect the message language and read them in the correct language. Now do the same for speaking street and place names in Maps. [but don’t take 17 years please]

Analoge dating platform
“Not for the first time, he longed for an undo button in his life. He wished that she had met the very best version of himself. He always felt he stood little chance with women, but on his best days—wearing his newest clothes, after a haircut and a good night’s sleep —he just might be considered passable by some patient girl who could see past the superficial stiluff and realise he had the makings of an apprentice boyfriend.” Ronan Hession
