    It’s real. It’s very real, they’re very transparent about how shady and horrible they are, and their entire process, and why it is technically not illegal, and how aware they are of all of it.

    Edit: I got got. Honestly, in this modern landscape, can you blame me for thinking people bragging about how they’re legally using AI to steal data were being satirical? The Onion notoriously can’t keep up with real world news, cut me a break.

      Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society.
