    Not sure which ones didn't matter in this one. The Hammer of Barovia fight establishes the stakes, showing Lex's duplicity and that he already has access to at least one combatant that can outclass Superman. The kaiju fight introduces the Justice Gang and shows the difference between their...

    ChatGPT lies then gaslights reporter with fake transcript

    Pretty much only in discussions like this specifically about AI. Not so much in everyday life. What you're describing isn't a news article, it's an instructional video. Those are not the same, nor published by the same people.

    ChatGPT lies then gaslights reporter with fake transcript

    And did you instantaneously come to your healthy distrust of the reliability of AI content the moment you began using it, or is it something you had to learn through experience? Do you think it's valueless for journalists to highlight such issues so that people who don't have your wide -ranging...

    I've no experience with cosplay, but I did a bit of googling and there are quite a few slip-on fake feet you can get, some of which are even designed to go over shoes (just search "fake feet" on Amazon). They'll look seriously oversized, but I'm not sure that's a downside for Carl. You could...

    No, that's never stated in the series. It is specifically stated that it's a skill issue, and we never see him perfectly mimic any humanoid even for a short time. The closest we get is in Children of Time, where he finally learns to take on a more detailed appearance after hundreds of years'...

    Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

    It feels a bit Assassin's Creed: Sherwood (having said that, that's a game I'd play). Regardless of the adaptation, Maid Marian is always a fox.
