It's the *dye* that they're proposing to ban. Headlines can handle nuance, I'm sure of it!

California schools could ban Flamin' Hot Cheetos under new bill https://t.co/IZtn92EKqU

"Poverty isn’t simply the condition of not having enough money. It’s the condition of not having enough choice and being taken advantage of because of that."

@FFCsocial @superLEE7 Good point, the CNET stories say the same

[Tanza Loudenback @notsoTan_za]

My first thought: This sucks. There are only so many ways you can explain a financial concept and if AI can do it clearly, why hire a staff reporter or a freelancer?

But then: These articles have no expert commentary... I've identified the limits of AI (for now)

[Tanza Loudenback @notsoTan_za]

@superLEE7 They do credit AI under the cloak of “CNET Money” (pretty dystopian) but the ethics question is interesting!
