At the same time, ChatGPT’s widespread use has also sparked numerous online debates about whether it’s possible to spot AI-created content by looking at certain cues, like the em dash.

CNET's key takeaways The Windmill AC normally costs $349 for 6,000 BTUs, but you can often find it on sale on Windmill's website Amazon Home Depot Not only is the Windmill AC the easiest unit I've ever installed, it's the only AC unit I've tried that effectively kept my older and not well-insulated home cool during a heat wave. Bonus: It's actually stylish. Although, I still would have paid for an ugly one that works. Its normal price is higher than some other window AC units, but I've paid

GM, LG to upgrade Tennessee plant to make low-cost EV batteries

Scientists at Case Western Reserve University led the study, which examined the medical records of people with chronic low back pain.
