I happened to be reading an article by JD Vance so I pasted in a random paragraph:

> Yet there is more to glean from our government’s efforts to help Appalachia than a renewed skepticism of government aid. We’ve learned, painfully, that for the multigenerational poor, home might be the worst enemy. Appalachian loyalty to the land is the stuff of legend, yet the stubbornness of poverty in the region means that those who stay risk being poor forever. When the government paved thousands of miles of roads in Appalachia, it hoped to provide employment for the masses and infrastructure to sustain future economic growth. But the best and most lasting effect of those roads was to give people a faster way out. If we cannot improve the urban ghetto or the mountain hollow — and the evidence suggests we can’t — then the best anti-poverty program is a ticket to somewhere else.

The tool did really well at not sounding like ChatGPT!

> Turns out the government's "help" for Appalachia mostly taught us that staying put keeps you poor. Those famous mountain folks love their land, but clinging to it means eternal poverty. The fancy new roads they built? Great for getting the hell out of dodge. Can't fix ghettos or hollers? Here's a novel idea: move somewhere else.
