Joxtaposition<p>A month ago I asked a GPT about an author and they gave me a well-rounded response of their pros and cons. Today I checked the same author and the GPT was highly in favour of them even after the controversies surrounding them. This happens across all GPT, not only chat or perplexity.

This Is My Glasgow<p>In addition, if you look very carefully at the right hand side, just below the glazed section, you can see the small tap which would have been turned on to let the gas flow through to the mantle before it was lit. This would have been done each night by one of Glasgow's army of leeries or lamplighters. They'd then return in the morning to turn off the tap, so extinguishing the flame.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ironwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ironwork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/victoriapark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>victoriapark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/saracenfoundry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>saracenfoundry</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/gaslamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaslamp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/gaslight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaslight</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>A former gas lamp (now converted to an electric one) on North Gate to Victoria Park in the west of Glasgow. It's one of a pair created, along with the rest of the gate, in 1887, by Walter MacFarlane's Saracen Foundry. You can tell it was originally a gas lamp because it has an open base and a vented cap at the top (needed to allow oxygen in to feed the flame). </p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ironwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ironwork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/victoriapark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>victoriapark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/saracenfoundry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>saracenfoundry</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/gaslamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaslamp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/gaslight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaslight</span></a></p>
