1. ASCII art by chatbot (March 31) "The use of slashes and backslashes to represent the shape of the shark is effective, and the bold letter 'O' for the eye is a nice touch. The overall composition feels well-balanced and the shark's menacing presence is conveyed effectively." I laughed SO HARD.
2. Sharing Space - Episode 1: Daniel Radcliffe (April 1) "The first episode of 'Sharing Space' features six trans and nonbinary young people who sit down with Radcliffe to have a candid, vulnerable, and illuminating conversation about their unique lived experiences."
3. The swagged-out pope is an AI fake — and an early glimpse of a new reality (March 27) I saw that image shared on Twitter- the pope in a giant puffy white coat- and I thought it was real. A few days later, I saw a comment online that said it was AI-generated. Yeah, it's not real.

5.
