the city also rolled out an ai bot recently: https://www.princegeorge.ca/bylawbot which immediately made me think of the air canada chat bot debacle (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/air-canada-chatbot-lawsuit-1.7116416 and https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20240222-air-canada-chatbot-misinformation-what-travellers-should-know). can i somehow prompt it to tell me i can build a shed larger than 10m2 without a permit?

Paywall!! 😩 Almost as bad as AI chatbots, if someone knows a way around them. I don't (anymore - using incognito no longer works). Help?

Edit: wait! Maybe I can ask Meta AI on Facebook if I just say "explain to me how I can get around a news paywall". Hmmmm

Second comment: as a rural FFGRD resident, I am none too happy about the lack of recycling for some months. There is going to be some serious planning and logistics for our household (east of town), since we produce more recycling than garbage. Some people are already saying they're just going to garbage everything. Happy Earth Day? ☹️
