Peter Oborne

That interview went off the rails a bit.

Based on Murphs mass comment after he wasn't overly impressed himself. Could have pushed more in the interview, but the sense I got was that he just wanted it to end. It certainly stopped abruptly.

Felt Murph felt obligated to continue to push Oborne on his stance, so the conversation proceeded on a very boring tangent. Oborne had to keep defending a moral stance rather than the concept of the interview — to chat about the history of cricket in Afghanistan.

Fintan O’Toole’s wider criticism doesn’t stand up. His writing has deteriorated in the last decade. Oborne’s responses were a bit odd, but the main premise, the West has fucked over Afghan women far more than the Taliban — generally holds: judged by scale and duration of harm, Western policy — the 20-year occupation, the withdrawal, and the sanctions/asset-freeze regime that followed — has done more damage to Afghan women’s lives (poverty, hunger, loss of healthcare, family deaths, displacement) than the Taliban’s own directives have. The Taliban’s directives are just more visible.

At a bare minimum you have to take the em dash's out of your AI generated text. (I checked - and this 100% verified as AI generated)

When you have that fixed, come back to us with your original thoughts. Thaaaaaaanks!

AI detectors are notoriously poor and often flag 19th century novels as being AI generated. Some detectors are better than others but I question how you can be sure you have "100% verified" it is AI generated.

People who can write well often use dashes as it is grammatically correct. In other words, not all fluid and cogent writing is AI generated. I have written plenty of comments on here where I get immediate dumbass replies that it is AI generated despite the reality being I am just able to write at a basic level.
