Looks like the editors over at The Onion will be keeping their jobs for a while!

I'm getting more concerned that our collective standards will just lower to be satisfied by chat gpt. It's certainly happening for some people. "Good enough, fake onion"

Too bad Jay Leno went off the air, because he could've just used AI to replace his writing staff and no one would notice a change in quality.

Number 7 was the only one I found actually funny and relevant to locals. And I live in Arlington

I feel like an actual onion headline would include VA-aligned DCrs secretly building a wall to keep Maryland out, and the two movements don't find out about each other until DC has been totally cut off from the rest of the country, in transit and utilities

The article ends with DC starting to descend into a Mad Max hellscape, with one commenter reporting that it's not like a split congress was going to get anything done anyway

It would be fun to see it write some /r/washingtondc discussion topics. I guarantee it would include carjacking, parking and black and white people calling each other racists.

hard disagree, that's one of the least funny

I think the onion's headlines are funnier because they're more shocking -- these are very PG
