Funny article. I didn’t know about the bad GoT show.

Having said that, right here is where I know Ben used AI

But here's the thing.

This is a smoking gun for me, as I now hear some version of this daily due to AI adoption.

  • Here’s the thing
  • That’s the thing
  • But here’s the thing

This bundle of words has become completely useless as a punch-up. The words add no additional value. It would be more concise to cut them all together. It’s now difficult for me to find written, opinion text without some version of this phrase.

Anyway, I hope the right keeps imploding & infighting, wasting their money, being focused on some stupid culture war no one gives a fuck about while real problems stack up.

"Here's the thing" is one of his favorite phrases. A lot of people repeat that one, in fact.
