I did ~22 prompts. All of them I correctly identified as satire. I don't know how they are generated. Feeding titles into a language model? Very likely, because the resulting title…

Can't use my mouse with it. And it doesn't look nice. And it requires a shortcut palette different than the OS conventions. I bought VS Code with $0.00 and sent the rest to needy k…
