There’s a band named Let’s Eat Grandma. No comma.

I will admit, I have never heard of them before until now!

Let's Eat Grandma are a British award winning pop group formed in 2013 by musicians and multi-instrumentalists Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth.

They seem to be bigger in the UK than over here.

TV’s portrayal of AI has become a "vicious circle" because, while entertainment often highlights AI's inaccuracy or threats—like HBO's The Comeback depicting hacky, stolen schtick—industry fears of being "pilloried" prevent embracing it, yet the technology is simultaneously used behind the scenes for editing and analytics. This contradiction fuels audience anxiety while AI, particularly generative AI, remains a, often, unrefined, and, scrutinized tool in, storytelling, and production.

This is quoted from another thread. That sentence in bold looks like a confused mess with misplaced/misused commas and words. Anyone want to take a stab at rewriting it?

(*Also changed "a" to "and" after remains)

Much better! I think the word after remains should be 'an', though.

There are way too many commas in the original quote.

Yes, you are RIGHT!
I'm not afraid to admit when I'm WRONG!

I wonder if other languages have this trouble with their sentences?

Poor Grandmas . One gets run over by a reindeer and the other one gets eaten !!
