It is not 'very nice'; it's often generic and lacking in any insight or striking imagery, the meter is ragged and inconsistent while the rhymes are often padding or outright slant (through/too, shore/core?). But I will grant it this: despite the AABB quatrain meter making it look exactly like AI slop, the flaws and errors show that it's probably genuinely amateur-written (as does a '100% human' rating in Pangram).

There's a certain irony in that moving forward we're going to have to be 'imperfect' to appear as not being AI. Spelling mistkaes, shit grammar, typos, et,c, just leeet em rock.

Nah, if the meta shifts too far, people will just prompt for lower quality like errors, the same way that if Pangram use gets too widespread, people will just start using anti-Pangram prompts and rewrite services. And since people largely don't notice or care, even here, that meta shift is going to take a long time.

I think this is one of the few things as late that makes me feel genuinely proud to be British, because, beneath the hostility that feels so rife across our country recently, we’ve so many good people making things like this happen. Bravo.

This is only happening in order to protect the UK states' control over the territory.

Altruism isn't the priority - just the pitch. The real priority is to ensure Tristan Da Cunha remains property of the UK - which, if the colony were to fail, would be immediately endangered. This is why the imperial military is involved, not civilian organizations - the military target is to ensure the island remains the property of the UK.

No, the island is already within the territorial waters, it doesn't noticeably expand it.

Uh, doesn't it extend it the entire size of Orkney plus another 12 nm?

Nope, you don't need a naval base to do that. The measurement is not from the closest naval base.
