These AI tools will always rely on underpaid freelancers doing three jobs for a fraction of the wage of one. They’re merely a justification for not paying people.
Real question: Why did "holocaust" become an unusable word after 9/11?
You can trace it's common use as a lower case normal word and it's disappearance to right about post-9/11 and what happened?
In case you were wondering what's going on today :V
Comic about superheroes losing powers but its their tertiary powers so Spider-Man doesn't heal as fast, Superman doesn't have an invisible forcefield and Cyclops temporarily sucks at billiards and darts.

It’s dog whistling. When ever Trump or Republicans and at this point Dems or Leftists
Want to flex power
They find a way of attacking Blackness
Black people, women, or perceived moral authority,
