She would have the same reaction if he had copied generic vows from a different source. The whole point of writing your own vows is for them to be personal.

It's beyond that he couldn't be bothered to rewrite the generic slop AI churned out to make it personal. He didn't use AI to help write his vows. She knew it was AI because he typed in "write some wedding vows" and used them word for word.

When exactly was she supposed to walk out? If that was the first time she heard what he had then that was the first time she could react. If someone started with "I love you insert name here" I'd be walking out as well.

You have hit the problem with the last few sentences. Having a look online for other wedding vows for inspiration or even using AI to help is one thing. But you can bet he copied the generic writing of AI and didn't add a single thing that was actually personal.

And you know that for sure? Is that because no potential political party has ever failed to get off the ground ever in the history of the world. Oh wait no that's not true is it. So a potential political party is completely irrelevant.

I sometimes have trouble expressing myself, and I use AI to help sometimes. I ask the AI for suggestions and then use them to write what I mean. What I don't do is ask AI to write it for me. Because that wouldn't be something I wrote and everything written by AI sounds exactly the same.

Was it through ex conservatives voters though or through attracting those who wouldn't have voted for any other party? It's an important distinction because Labour seem to be going for the Conservative voters when the real wins are to be made from people who wouldn't vote for any right wing party.

GPs is always going to have spots where it doesn't work and times when it doesn't connect. A better way would be a sensor on the car to pick up chips embedded in the road to change the speed limiter.

Reckless driving is what puts you and likely someone else in the ambulance in the first place though. We don't pay for ambulances here and there are still reckless drivers.

Then limit them in shared spaces. There is no reason to limit them if they are away from pedestrians (at least not to less than we limit cars).

If it's 15mph then it should be applied to non assisted bikes as well because they can go faster than that. Limiting all bikes in shared spaces seems reasonable. Limiting them on the road is dangerous.

What you were told isn't true. 15.5 is the limit for a throttle on an e-bike. You can go as fast as you can get it, as long as you are pedalling with assistance rather than using a throttle. You can also get e-bikes that can go faster without pedalling, but they are classed as motorbikes.

The limit is on speed without pedaling. It's just a restriction for people who use throttles not just assistance. Mine has a thumb throttle that will do about 6mph which I use to get going and then start peddling.

I think there should be a speed limit in bike lanes or spaces shared with pedestrians. On the road they should have the same limit as cars as it's safer for the rider.
