Patrixia Ross, 38, brings a distinguished family background to her life in America. She is a naturalised United States citizen originally from the Philippines, and reports indicate she was raised in an environment of high professional achievement, as both of her parents were respected doctors in her home country.

That upbringing in the medical field suggests a life of relative privilege and education before she moved to the United States and married the federal agent. Neighbours in their Minnesota community described her as a dedicated mother who was deeply involved in raising their children.

She appears to enjoy cooking, having previously shared photos of baking recipes from a Spanish-language cookbook on social media. In July 2013, she also posted a snap of herself next to a US Border Patrol helicopter, when the couple was living around El Paso, Texas, according to the Daily Mail.

Neighbours told the outlet that Patrixia is ‘polite, very nice, [and] very outgoing’, a stark contrast to her ‘very reserved’ husband. The couple reportedly shares ‘a couple of kids’, and despite the intense scrutiny currently facing her husband, Patrixia has no personal history of legal trouble or public controversy prior to the shooting.

Her status as a naturalised citizen, however, adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, given that her husband’s career was dedicated to enforcing immigration laws.

    This sounds exactly an AI generated slopicle, with all the typical phrasing and re-wording you expect. It basically takes lines straight from the refenced articles and slightly rewords and/or adds little interpretative phrases to them.

    Folks, we need to start learning to recognize this kind of crap and not be fooled by it. For example:


    Hindustan Times simple statement: “A neighbor further told the Daily Mail that she spotted Jonathan Ross’s wife Patrixia pacing around the driveway on Wednesday afternoon.”

    This: “She was spotted looking frantic as she walked back and forth in the driveway, according to the Hindustan Times, suggesting a woman suddenly grappling with the reality that her husband had been involved in a lethal force incident during his shift.” <-- (oh please! no reporter writes shit like that, “… suggesting a woman suddenly grappling with the reality that…”)


    Daily Mall simple statement: > “She also shared photos of baking recipes from a Spanish-language cookbook.”

    This: > She appears to enjoy cooking, having previously shared photos of baking recipes from a Spanish-language cookbook on social media.


    And what is this?: “Shortly after the shooting, Patrixia and the children were never seen at home again.” That doesn’t even make sense! No human would say that.

      Fair enough. Please link to an article about Patrixia Ross that isn’t AI.

      I’m saying, there’s not a lot out there.

        The ones this article links to appear to be non-AI, though that doesn’t mean Daily Mail is a good place to get news. I read similar info on some major media news site in the US, again them not being AI is not necessarily a guarantee of unbiased info. Let me look in my history for a link. - (edit: I’m not finding anything in my history from a major US media source, so I guess what I read was probably also the Daily Mall.)

          The Daily Mail is a shit source for additional reasons besides AI, not least for historically supporting Hitler and Oswald Mosley. Goggle “Hurrah for the blackshirts!” for further context.

            Agree, and I made that point already. The only thing worse than a Daily Mail story is an AI interpretive dance of a Daily Mail story.
