Top 4 back exercises.

I know there has been a whole ruckus over the amount of "AI writing slop" being churned out, and a lot of people are turning to "AI detectors" for evidence that a piece was AI-generated.

The majority of these detection tools are not foolproof; they say so themselves, at the bottom of their own sites. Aside from that, I think this is going to hurt a lot of writers.

Some writers are genuinely that good that their skills are on par with what is now considered AI slop. Take a wild guess as to why.

AI was quite literally trained on vast amounts of data, the majority of which came from the World Wide Web, including a great deal of writers' work. AI simply mirrors these styles.

So you would agree with me when I say that there is something mordant about the entire operation: the tools built to expose AI are penalising the writers whose work taught it to write in the first place.
What a conundrum.

Many people have reported pasting their earlier work, pre-AI, into these detection tools and receiving a score of 100% AI-written. I should know, because I have run loads of my own work, both pre- and post-AI, through these tools and gotten similar scores.

A lot of writers are GOOD.
We obsess over punctuation and have a deep affinity for the Oxford comma; the em-dash has been a huge part of our lives for decades.
We use words like 'furthermore' and 'moreover'. We write in really short sentences to drive home points. We have done years of research; many of us grew up reading dictionaries and thesauruses alongside the books and novels we loved.

AI moved through decades of published writing with complete insouciance, learning our rhythms, our comma placements, our favoured pivots, and no one called that theft. Not a single credit was given to those it 'learned' from.

Are you now asking us to change our writing styles completely because AI has learned to shadow us so well? AI will keep evolving; no matter how many times we change our writing styles, it will eventually absorb them all.

Until there is a structural incentive, or a far more considered approach to addressing this, we will inevitably find ourselves in a never-ending loop, with AI perpetually at our heels.

I am an AI researcher who was first and will always be a writer, so yes, this topic cuts very close to home.

In the hunt to catch out AI slop, remember: AI slop is, epigrammatically speaking, human slop.

I am often asked what a PhD is really like. It is a mix of independent research & fighting imposter syndrome, but the wins make it worth it. Grateful for the support at DAIM and Hull Uni where bold research is backed. If you have been waiting for a sign to start, this is it. ✨

Training days hit different when you’re properly dialled in.

I’ve added @sentiaspirit to my pre-gym routine, zero percent alcohol functional drinks that enhance focus and energy.
GABA Black before chest, shoulders, and triceps keeps me locked in and gives me balance!

Happy International Women’s Day.
A few days late, but since we’re busy redefining what “strong” looks like every other day of the year, we’ll take the extension.
Power is a practice around here. Enjoy us doing the heavy lifting.

Looking back at old videos and I am actually shocked at how slim I used to be. It is wild to see my body go from a size 6 to a 10/12, building muscle and a bigger bum along the way.

I am honestly just marvelling at how our bodies can change.

I wrote this song today because It’s so heartbreaking the things going on in the world today, especially in Nigeria. It’s sickening that women are still getting raped. We need justice! #justiceforjennifer #Anonymous #WeAreTired #JusticeForUwa #JusticeForTina #GeorgeFloyd

[KKC @OyinkanChekwas]

Here are the lyrics to the song.
Please, Stop Raping Women. Stop Hurting Women, Stop killing women!
Learn what CONSENT is!

According to various NGOs and the Ministry of Women Affairs, only a fraction of sexual assaults in Nigeria are ever reported to the police due to stigma and fear of institutional pushback.

It’s a no brainer, because when women are brave enough to come out and speak up against abuse, rape, and all other forms of sexual assault, they are met with disbelief. They are further harassed, even by authorities, shamed, blamed, and accused of lying.

Then the infamous banger boys of Twitter begin their disgusting agenda, writing 20-tweet threads on "false accusations" while the national conviction rate for rape is below 5%.

In Nigeria, the gap between a reported case and a successful conviction is incredibly massive. Most perpetrators rarely face a courtroom.

Babies, toddlers, animals, young adults, and the elderly, no one is spared from this dastardly act. When a toddler is abused, what "false accusation" logic can possibly be applied?

The depravity knows no bounds, and statistics show these acts are committed almost exclusively by men.

At the end of the day, we will continue to lend our voices and continue to speak up. No amount of “agenda” will silence us.
Stop raping women. Stop rape!

Woke up craving a massive, cheesy pizza, so I made a high-protein version at home.
I used @CathedralCity High Protein cheese, 30g protein per 100g and half the fat, to satisfy the craving while staying on track with my goals.

One of my top two essentials after lipgloss is this mist, especially in the winter.
Sitting in heated rooms all day leaves my face feeling tight and uncomfortable. I keep the Clea Skn Rose Water Face Mist on my desk to fix that. 🥹🫶🏾

Movie marathon mode: ON.
I’m fuelling my downtime with the @FUEL10K Banana & Raspberry pot. High protein, ready in 2 mins, and so tasty I didn’t even need honey, just a spoonful of flaxseed.
The perfect winter warmer.

"Liquid gold" for recovery without the 48-hour wait.
I use OXO Beef Bone Broth for a nutrient-dense base in minutes. It stands up perfectly to handmade noodles for a powerful post-workout meal.
Deliciously nourishing.

Travel days usually mess up my nutrition between lunch and dinner. I have been testing @SuperNutrio to fix that.
Smoothie for the road: Semi-Skimmed with 70g protein/litre and no additives.
Granola for the train: Whole Milk with 80% more calcium for heavy lifts.

I treated guests at the @rhythmsandfood AfroTapas event to homemade berry ice cream made in my @HaierOfficial I-Master Series 7 blender. The variable speed dial gives total precision, crushes frozen berries while keeping a thick, scoopable texture to avoid a runny smoothie!

Train upper body with me while on holiday in Marrakesh, Morocco.

I hit back, shoulders, arms and chest in one long session. Yes, I really did it all.
Save this for the next time you’re travelling. xx

Do you want me to take you, even if it’s for granted? 😌
