READERS OF the Irish Times, a newspaper so heavy with its own profundity that it demands a back brace just to sit in front of it, say they have noticed the paper has become less boring recently and are wondering if it is down to the AI program which is said to have written an opinion piece on artificial tanning in Ireland.

And while the editor of the Irish Times has actually apologized for that, the readers appear to want more.

“Actually, I loved the article,” says Darina of Foxrock, a posh suburb of Dublin. “Super fun.”

“More of the same,” remarked Ultan of Howth, another posh Dublin suburb.

“Who needs Fintan O’Toole’s prose when we have a computer that isn’t up its own fundament?” commented Ristard, a surgeon who lives in a Wicklow mansion with a thousand acres attached.

“Well done, the Irish Times, a journalist who can actually write,” said Conan, a scratch golfer from somewhere equally posh but unnameable for tax reasons.
