One application for new homes in the English midlands was reportedly the subject of more than 500 email objections from one local resident, including a 160-page report full of errors and hallucinations (when AI generates false, misleading or fabricated information).

The Energy Consents Unit (ECU) – the team within the Scottish Government which handles applications for projects such as wind farms and pylon lines – now only accepts objections from the public through its own online portal or by post.

Sounds reasonable. If it matters to you that much, that's a minor hurdle to overcome.

“A publicly funded department of the Scottish Government should have the technology, staffing and capacity to process any number of objections or representations submitted, regardless of how they are prepared or delivered,” the ObjectNow spokesperson added.

Fuck off, that's a blatant waste of public funds.

Object now should be investigated for harassment

Sounds like ObjectNow is a proponent of much higher taxes on the wealthy. How else will the public sector pay for all this needed capacity?
