Ambassador from planet Markab, whose population was killed by a plague they thought would only kill those who deserved it (they were right, ultimately). This was told in your human tv docudrama Babylon 5. Making a living as an axe grinder in Oregon.

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.

Note how smooth and authoritative she sounds. Just like another LLM.
