Please stop using AI to write for you, it ruins what is otherwise a fascinating story, and on reflection I struggle to trust it. If you used AI to generate the blog post, did you use AI to generate the screenshots and story?

I am curious, what exactly triggers your AI senses in this post?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thats a literary style called anaphora. Some people learned this in school, so they can use it to emphasize something. IMHO this is not a strong sign of AI, in fact I think this text has no strong AI indicators.

Thank you for speaking up -- I feel the same way.

Agree, i don't think it was ai written, or atleast written very well with AI.

I am usually able to pick up ai writing quickly but didnt feel it in this case

> Replace that, and every TV network receiving the FIFA feed shows whatever you pushed. Holy shit, Rickrolling is among the more harmless things you could have done with that.

What's the most harmful thing you could do?

Use your imagination, brother. What's the worst thing you can think of them showing to the entire world?

Unfortunate to see AI police as top comment on a good amusing post!

Yeah I used Claude as a writing assistant for the initial draft. I'm autistic and long-form writing isn't my strong suit, getting a 4000 word blog post to flow well is genuinely hard for me. But I do edit it pretty heavily after, the voice and the jokes and the structure are mine, the AI just helps me get a baseline down so I'm not staring at a blank page. The research, the screenshots, the disclosure, that's all me.…

Great post. It was an amusing read, and quite the discovery! Good work, and great job documenting it.

I got 100% Human on Pangram, so either they did the work to have their AI service pass this test, or...they actually wrote it.

Do you know these feeds actually go to broadcasters? They could be internal feeds for refs, match review, head office monitoring, etc. The broadcast contribution feeds I’ve seen in the past are MPEG-TS, not via RTMP. Still a great find.

you're right, it's not the international signals, but internal distribution only
