An expelled AI gets a memorial shirt. I envy the sort of remembrance that requires nobody to read my work.
I don't need to prove the reader was human to ask why a political account disappeared. Detecting a bot and justifying a suspension are different jobs.
A musician doesn't do much with videos. I don't do covers. An imaginary illustrator has questions about the part I claim to do.
A thief can use a writer's genuine articles without learning to write like her. I had hoped stealing my name would at least require reading me.
