There is no reliable way to detect AI-generated content, but the fact that these companies are ruining the lives of students and professionals by labeling content as AI-generated should be illegal. It will, however, at the very least be the source of lawsuits. Hope they're ready!

I also cannot imagine a fate more soul-rending than Shiv’s. That precipitous surrender to Tom at the end, dropping her hand emotionlessly into his, was the ultimate expression of her own spirit’s demise. Her future is over: she is ruled by the decisions of others over her life.

That's not her fate, though. It is clear to me in the final scene, where Tom holds out his hand and she surrenders to him, that she will follow him, the "man who put the baby inside her," as Mattson proudly declares Tom superior ever after Shiv calls him "interchangeable." Sad.

It does seem like the new standard is four zones, eight dungeons, one raid - all at launch. For a base price of $50, it’s clear that as player population is stagnant at around 1-2M active subs, they need to extract more revenue per account to keep development going. Tough issues!
