YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

here’s a hot take: Lily Tino wouldn’t be so “annoying and evil” if people were more accepting towards trans women. i can’t be the only one who can understand her frustration. as far as i’m aware, her only “crime” is getting upset when people misgender her. she probably wouldn’t be getting as upset as she does if there was a level of basic respect towards trans people. of course, a lot of the employees she’s getting upset with are very apologetic and will often times immediately correct themselves, but i think it’s totally fair for her to be like “…? seriously..? you can’t tell that i’m trying to present myself more femininely…?”

there is a book for every single excuse someone may have for using ai. if not a book, there’s an article. if not an article, there’s some guy on reddit who experienced the same thing in 2010. if not a reddit guy, i’m sure you could ask around your peer group and find someone who can help.

reading and talking not your thing? watch a youtube video. there is a niche for literally everything.

the best part about not using ai? a human teaching you something actually cares about the consequences you may face if you don’t have the skill you’re looking to learn. a robot couldn’t give less of a fuck if the lacklustre email it shits out at you puts you in a tough situation with colleagues, or if you get a passing grade on your essay, and it especially doesn’t give a fuck about the person you’re trying to impress with your sappy soulless paragraphs about love. actually, scratch that. ai isn’t even capable of not giving a fuck, or giving one.

a person teaching you how to write a proper email? probably understands what it’s like to be concerned about professionalism, and has been in your shoes before. someone giving you tips on how to write a better essay? probably someone who’s written their fair share of horrible/fantastic works and can give you advice on what your human teacher might be looking for. fuck it, someone offering dating advice? probably knows how much it sucks to get rejected, and actually KNOWS WHAT ITS LIKE TO FEEL LOVE AND ADMIRATION FOR SOMEONE.

i think ai can be used in so many cool ways, and it’s not just some evil thing that’s going to take over the world and rot all of our brains, but good fucking god do not let it replace our creativity and individuality.

so many of the "i only use chat gpt for ___" excuses are concerning because people use it in place of learning basic, valuable skills.

you don't need chat gpt to write professional sounding emails for you, there are many many guides on the internet and with a bit of practise you can learn to write them yourself. a very important skill for a professional to have, and some of the basic rules will carry over into irl conversations!

you don't need chat gpt to be a "more detailed search engine", because you're robbing yourself of the chance to learn how to find and filter information on the internet and evaluate the credibility of sources. which is a VITAL skill. plus, chat gpt is notorious for being wrong?

if you use it to write essays, you're taking away your ability to hone your research skills, your writing skills, your critical thinking skills. your ability to create persuasive arguments!

and for most of the other reasons people use chat gpt, there are non-ai websites for that! for maths, wolfram alpha. for figuring out what you can cook with the ingredients you have there's supercook and the like. for creating routines, there's about a million apps!

whatever you "only" use chatgpt for i promise there are better websites out there that you don't have to worry will produce complete bullshit???? and destroy the environment???

"How could you do this" with the help of the demon blade "this isn't you" well yeah it's me and the demon blade "I know you're a good person" yeah that wasn't in question "please come home" not if you're gonna be a dick to the demon blade "we need to destroy the demon blade" listen I don't come to family gatherings and say we Need To Destroy aunt cassie and she's genuinely evil, unlike the demon blade

I made this for the legendary @hymen-restoration-project

when he says “i’m super into WWII”: 🙂👍🏼

he starts talking about german people all believing in Hitler and how trans people were doing experiments on children: ☹️👎🏼

no i love that Mark Carney has appointed a minister of AI who has access to our economics and national security. no i think it’s great that the Canadian government is encouraging a surge of AI. this cannot possibly go wrong in any way shape or form! i’m actually really excited for AI to be inescapable at every turn of my life! this will definitely make our lives easier! thank god we have robots to do the pointless jobs that humans have burdened ourselves with!!

my reaction to that scene:

so proud of myself for giving the same answer as cheng xiaoshi on that psychological test wang qing gave him I'm literally him

sometimes when i talk about AI it feels like this is what the conversation is like:

person A: hey. did you hear theres a mythical giant drinking the ocean through a straw? look, it’s crazy.

person B: well, i dunno. the giants already there, so we may as well just learn how to cope with it.

person C: i disagree, actually. the giant is good for humanity and will solve cancer!

person D: well i think all of you are extreme. what we do is divide the ocean in half. that way the giant can continue stealing our water and we might be able to survive for a few more decades.

person A: why don’t we just stop the giant from drinking our water?

person B: well then what would happen to the giant? how are you personally gonna stop the giant?

person C: well i don’t think thats fair. the giant has a lot of good qualities that people tend to overlook just because he’s drinking the ocean.

person A: holy fuck guys there’s a second giant and they’re implementing laws so we can’t take their straws away

person D: this is so amazing for the giants! (:
