It’s been almost two months since the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to stop killing Gazans and destroying their means of subsistence. So let’s look back and ask (1) how Israel has responded to its “orders,” and (2) how hard the Biden administration has pushed Israel to abide by those orders. Spoiler alert: the short answers are (1) not well and (2) not very. The American government has provided most of the armaments and targeting technologies being used to kill Gazans by the thousands while turning many of the rest of them into refugees by destroying their homes, offices, schools, and hospitals.

As the editor of a content mill that generates great articles every 4.2 seconds, like “Five Hacks for Your Roku” and “Seven Hacks for Your Roku,” I feel the need to take a stand against the rise of AI articles and the threat they pose to my team of human writers, who we treat like robots.
Sure, our articles maintain a rigid SEO template that creatively resembles the kitchen at a poorly run Quiznos, and granted, all our story ideas are gleaned from better-written magazine articles from seven months ago (that we’re totally not plagiarizing), but imagine if AI wrote those articles? So much would be lost.
We employ actual human writers, from teenagers who happen to have a computer and know how to mash 1,200 unreadable words in twenty minutes, to aging writers desperately grasping at the last branch in a failing industry and can’t make the 1,200 words that fast and will be let go. What would happen to them if we simply plugged terms into an AI article program? Self-worth, perhaps, yet at what cost? (None to us, obviously, since we pay in Slack chat emojis and no exposure.)
