Two links on the shelf this morning, so we made them count. A class action accuses a sleep-tracking ring's AI insights of being a coin flip — an allegation, not a finding — and a very modest paper about named entity recognition arrived at our door described as five things it isn't. Plus a free experiment you can run on any app that grades you.

A stand-up fed fifteen years of his own material into a bot and got back a version of himself with no grudges. Australia's charts try to ban AI songs without saying how they'd know. And an airline apology bot gets so sorry it starts handing out flights to cities it doesn't fly to.
