A company responsible for cleaning meatpacking plants across the country has paid $1.5 million in civil penalties for making children as young as 13 work in dangerous conditions...The department said children, ranging from 13 to 17 years-old, spent overnight shifts cleaning equipment such as head splitters, back saws and brisket saws, and were exposed to dangerous chemicals such as ammonia.

Realizing that AI chatbot generated text reminds me of the 3.8 paragraphs my kids hated having to write in middle school. It was some formula of 3 paragraphs each with 8 sentences or some nonsense like that, where the first sentence restated the question & then there was supposed to be a thesis, and the first piece of evidence, second piece of evidence etc, and of course then the final restating conclusion. My creative, independent thinking kids hated them so much. "It's like a robot wrote it" 🤣
