Where is the ‘Whoosh’ gif when you need it.
That's what satire often does. Sadly, sometimes the 'normal world' goes so mad that it's hard to spot satire, but there were several giveaways here once you'd been drawn in.
There are two unfortunate truths here.
I didn’t read the whole article. I don’t care.
In which case it might have been safer not to comment. Though maybe your gift was bringing a little unintentional mirth to NCAP, and we should thank you.
FWIW, it was quite nicely done, and was worth the extra minute of reading to the end.
I’m on holiday so spending little time on here. Therefore speed reading even more than usual. Errors are to be expected even more than usual.
OK, Mateusz, you might have a point. OTOH, maybe this does belong in this thread.

I broke Copilot by asking the following:
In French "I am what I follow"
About 20 years ago a teacher in France got the sack for sticking to his guns to take off an item of clothing each time his class got the wrong answer for the riddle "Je suis un femme mais je ne suis pas une femme". He ended up naked, which apparently even French teachers shouldn't do in front of their class.
The riddle relies on 'je suis' meaning either 'I follow' (from the verb 'suivre') or 'I am' (from 'être').
This doesn't break Copilot in the way I managed, but it wants to read a lot in to the "un femme" and use that to solve the riddle.
Interestingly, when I suggested it might have been a typo, it said that wouldn't make sense because then the sentence contradicts itself even while acknowledging the different posssible meanings.
Anyway, so my solution is "I follow a woman, but I am not a woman" and therefore could be anything from a shadow to a creepy man.
Who wins?
Sorry, that was a tyop on my part: both should have been 'une femme".
Your solution is correct, and the fact that a schoolroom full of French people didn't get it means you get double points from what a UK Eurovision contestant would get.
I find it interesting how it struggled with a basic typo and simply couldn't get it when I suggested my solution. It actually felt like posting on this forum as it continued to argue I was wrong.
