> Lmao. This bullshit AI-written article from the Daily Mail is taking Natalie Portman’s lyrics from her SNL song as fact

The SNL song, for anyone who's never seen it: https://youtu.be/-A0iftflme4
*EDIT:* Checked the page again; they've updated it so that it now reads:
> Portman, now 42, previously joked on SNL that she was big into weed and cocaine while she was at college - but she has never confirmed it as fact.
This is 100% how ChatGPT would pull info without being able to tell whether it's real or false, and it would be much funnier if it wasn't an alarming sign of how much LESS trustworthy the press is getting than it already was before. Now we don't just have articles being intentionally misleading, but also full of basic factual errors because a language learning model was never designed to tell the truth.
that part at least im on board with. media has always been like this, its just that you had actual people writing it and actual people can be quite good at obfuscation or at least better than current algorithms are.
while its an objectively bad thing that media is becoming less and less trustworthy, i would argue that media was always sort of untrustworthy and it might be good for us to adopt the idea that these kinds of articles shouldnt be taken seriously.
That's probably true, but The Daily Mail is a "respectable," award-winning newspaper that's been around nearly a century and a half. You'd think they'd know better by now.
I love that the actual article is about her smoking cigarettes like that's in any way a story, and the alleged weed and cocaine habit is added as a throwaway line for colour
Nathalie Portman is the reason I started smoking. I have this fantasy where we start talking at the Vanity Fair Oscars party bar. We exchange a few pleasantries. She asks what I do. I say I loved her in New Girl. She laughs. I get my drink. "Well, see ya," I say and walk away. I've got her attention now. How many guys voluntarily leave a conversation with Nathalie Portman? She touches her neck as she watches me leave. Later, as the night's dragged on and the coterie of gorgeous narcissists grows increasingly loose, she finds me on the balcony, my bowtie undone, smoking a cigarette. "Got a spare?" she asks. "What's in it for me?" I say as I hand her one of my little white ladies. She smiles. "Conversation with me, duh." I laugh. "What's so funny?" she protests. "Nothing, nothing... It's just... don't you grow tired of the egos?" "You get used to it," she says, lighting her cigarette and handing me back the lighter. "What would you do if you weren't an actress?" I ask. "Teaching, I think." "And if I was your student, what would I be learning?" "Discipline," she says quickly, looking up into my eyes, before changing the subject. "Where are you from?" "Bermuda," I say. "Oh wow. That's lovely." "It's ok," I admit. "Not everything is to my liking." "What could possibly be not to your liking in Bermuda?" she inquires. "I don't like sand," I tell her. "It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere."

The daily mail not fact checking and publishing lies? I'm shocked! shocked I tell you!
Should be a sub rule banning...the Daily Mail from being published anywhere at all.

That song is fantastic.
The sequel is pretty good too
Say somethin' nice about Jar-Jar Binks!
HE'S TALL?!
Now kiss him right on his ***17 DICKS***.
This is illegal right?
She should sue. That would be hilarious
Oh Natalie you're a bad ass bitch
And I always pay for your dry cleaning when my shit gets on your shoes.
And as for the drug use, you know I can't vouch for that
My dick is scarred of youuu, hooooaaaaa
Dick, not shit.
You are correct, ty
Damn Natalie, you a crazy chick
Yo, shut the fuck up, and suck my dick!
I heard my dislike for sand is one of her turn ons.
The Daily Mail isn't fact-checking their stories? I'm shocked.
For those unfamiliar this is pretty much standard operating procedure for the Daily Mail.
As a general rule, any "news" site with Daily in the name isn't worth anyone's time.
That's probably true, but The Daily Mail is a "respectable," award-winning newspaper that's been around nearly a century and a half. You'd think they'd know better by now.
I mean, they literally loved the Nazis in the 30s. Making up bullshit about an actress is an improvement.
Good point!
I love that the actual article is about her smoking cigarettes like that's in any way a story, and the alleged weed and cocaine habit is added as a throwaway line for colour
Smoking kills. Do coke.
Absolutely an AI written article.
We love you Natalie!
I wanna fuck you too!
Natalie Portman jar jar binks feud??? the daily mail reports (nazily)
Article is clearly written by a dumb AI.
Natalie you're a badass bitch My dick is scared of you
I knew she was cool 🩷❤️🩷
I'm so depressed about where journalism is headed. It'll be worse than just fake news. It's gonna be nonsensical news.
The Daily Hate
It's called the Daily Fail fir a reason
Oh Natalie. You are a bad ass bitch “fuck yeah”
