“Dear PoPville,
Is WMATA using Chat GPT to respond back to customer complaints about “Better Bus” issues? I thought maybe these were genuine responses but then my friend pointed out they were likely just Chat GPT and WMATA was actually not responding to me (the machine was :/). Two response examples attached. I hope I didn’t fall for AI… (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
So all summer long I’ve felt like I have been tripping over yellow jackets. They are seemingly everywhere and always just buzzing along the ground. I’ve wondered what the hell is going on, and then I stumbled a tree completely infested with lantern flies and the ground around it was slick with syrupy honey dew (their shit), and a swarm of bees, hornets, and yellow jackets were lapping it up.

“Dear PoPville,
Simple Bar & Grill, a Brightwood institution for over 12 years (& located just north of Petworth on Georgia Ave) has had to close its doors. Over the years, Wilfredo and the whole Simple team tirelessly supported area families and businesses, DC’s LGBTQ+ community, local music & arts scenes, & more. As they are now faced with financial challenges due to the unexpected closure, I’ve started a GoFundMe to help with the unforeseen expenses.”
