Maha Bali (blog.mahabali.me)This ChatGPT thing, quite apart from all the other AI writing tools, is disturbingly addictive and… likeable?

Adding the microformats, I presume links & quotes, to the main contents of the post would be great. I am guessing it would future proof the content of the classic editor goes away.
