"Places for boxers to exercise" is my favorite clue in a while. Great puzzle, Boaz!
I liked this one a lot, except I've never heard anyone ever say, "TSA bin". It's just a bin. Maybe it's a regional thing.
Great puzzle. I like the Mondays generally but felt compelled to come and offer kudos to the maker of this one in particular.
@Andrzej It does help to achieve a society in which the casual use of 'AI' is not socially acceptable. You can insist until you're blue in the face that widespread adoption is inevitable but so long as the cost-value proposition of these 'tools' is so skewed towards losing value, that isn't true. In the meantime, people can and should resist outsourcing creative tasks to a machine that spits out the lowest common denominator so that when OpenAI et al run out of VC money, we haven't oriented so much creative output to tools that no longer function.
Great Tuesday puzzle. The wordplay was enjoyable without being contrived, a subtle but very important distinction for my personal enjoyment of the crossword. Thanks Alex!
Fine theme for the puzzle but having no indication that the clue doesn't really match the answer without the extra finagling of letters outside the crossword really turns me off. Feels more capricious than clever.
Really enjoyed this puzzle! I'm sure it was too easy for a Wednesday for some, but I like a breezy mid-week crossword. Plus, I really enjoyed the themed clues, outside of CHEESE DOG, which I don't really understand.
I share the concerns of others about the AI clue, but it also just didn't add anything to the puzzle. My first guess as to the answer was correct, but then the AI part made me question if there was something more going on with the clue. That there wasn't made it feel a little shoehorned-in.
