1. Communicating research accurately and correctly is actually quite hard. 2. Even the best AI, in my experience, is regularly sloppy. To know when it is being sloppy and how to fix that, you need to be good at number 1, plus be good at the substance in question.

Here’s the moment! 161 states supporting is not to be sniffed at BUT as it stands resolution L.77 is a very modest resolution and we think it could have been more ambitious and better reflect the urgent need to move towards new international law #UNGA2024 #VoteAgainstTheMachine
