I'm not sure how that is "scary." And I am not defending AI just trying to maintain a point about perspective. How is this different than having a team of speech writers generate the speech?
This is going on in colleges and universities across the world. My real concern is that having to do research, organize your thoughts, express it in an intelligent fashion, actually learn to think is being killed off by internet resources be they AI or websites that offer papers.
There is very real combat going on in this area (reminds me of my electronic warfare days). First the sites appeared where you can buy papers. Then sites appeared where you can feed in papers to see if they were plagiarized. Now we have sites that re-work papers so they aren't detected as being plagiarized. Meanwhile, more idiots graduate from college, because education is not the point.

I agree, the system is churning out more idiots than ever to many others detriment. The scary part comes in (look at the link) where statements were made that is false, the bearer however believes these as fact which in turn make others believe it to be true, he is the president after all...

Long time ago I have quit responding to insulting or off the subjects posts / replies...
As they often say old western movies - that is my opinion and MY BUSINESS...
I am at a dilemma in responding to helpful replies...
After I responded, thanking for the help , I have received
private message - instructing me how to modify my profile to gain "gold stars " "privileges"...
I did not read the message in details - but it suggested to add my ZIP code to my profile ...
I am tempted to reply and ask if they need my shoe size...

That sounds like a spammer has got to you. I doubt any proper member here would make such a suggestion. If it is a known member then I suggest you report them privately to Sean or Chris.

Yip, as stated, probably a spammer or a senior member as only gold and above to certain members will allow them to access the 'private message' module.
Your help on the site is obviously appreciated as we all spend our own private time in enhancing the site, teaching and also learning from other members, keep it up!

And "Jitsu Squad" is on offer for free in the Epic Games Store at the moment

they do always have a free game changing it every 10 to 14 days, that's why I stopped saying it, one can check periodically.
Ubisoft doesn't do it, that's why I did tell it. That's an exception, not the rule

Did that sound right to you? It does to me.
As a native (U.S.) English speaker, I was of course not taught that there is a rule guideline to how we order adjectives -- but ESL students are taught a rule.
As I was lay awake this morning I thought about this. I think the above is in accordance with the rule.
But what if I drop the "large" -- I would describe it as a "fluffy, red sweater" rather than a "red, fluffy sweater".
I know there are many highly fluent non-native English speakers in the room -- what does your experience tell you?
Can both be "correct"? Is there a nuance to the rule which swaps these? If both size and color are specified, do they gravitate together?
(And don't get me started on separating adjectives with COMMAs.)

Does it have the answer? If so, please post a quote of it.

Your loss. It's a nice little piece and it's safe (AFAIK BBC doesn't harbour dangerous stuff).

So does "fluffy" count as opinion ("fluffy large red sweater" / "fluffy red sweater") or material ("large red fluffy sweater" / "red fluffy sweater")? 
"Fluffy large red" feels wrong to me. But "fluffy red" feels more righterish than "red fluffy".

My vote goes to 'fluffy large red sweater' but my vote doesn't count as I'm not a native and, no matter how much I enjoy learning the intricacies of this million-word mastodon, I'll never have a native's feeling (or accent) for it

As I've said in a previous message, not long ago, English doesn't properly have a grammar: more a collection of use cases and exceptions

Mostly exceptions.

On that, we agree.

Don't think of them as exceptions. Think of them as corner cases

Even if so, why does it seem (to me at least) that they should swap positions in this case? </rhetorical>
I don't see "fluffy" as opinion or material. Where does texture go in the order?

So I guess I'm not alone anyway.
