I should say specifically that I think it's excellent for SEO content (with human fact checking and such, of course), but then I'm also biased since SEO content is my job 😂

Brittz0rz🧋 @brittz0rz.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely! This, to me, is one of its greatest benefits.

Drove through some real bucolic stuff yesterday on my way to my dad's. Grandma's calendar quality.

I work with AI content every day. It's not even a close call. One day it will be impossible to tell what's human and what's AI, but it will still be very easy to tell what's good and what's shit. Those who think it's saving time and money are as foolish as those who think it's going to replace us.

It's always going to be better value to use human writing, because it's so often much easier to come up with the shit yourself than wrangle with an LLM that can't think outside its box. Even as that box gets bigger, it only becomes more annoying to wrangle (see: Chat-GPT 5 fail).

I have controversially positive opinions on AI, but here Ari Shapiro points out exactly what I keep saying. It can't even remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. 🧵

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Trying this myself, thought folks might think this was a cool idea, too

This kills me. In the 90s when plastics were still largely seen as eco-friendly, nobody hid it. They just called it "pleather," and we all said "oh yeah, I guess that is the right choice." "Vegan leather" was just a rebrand snow job when plastic problems shifted public opinion. Classic marketing.

Well, ideally I do, because sometimes I know they're just not going to get what I'm saying and I'm the only one who's going to get upset. But most often I don't, because I can't fucking help myself. 😆

Protect my peace? I can't even protect breakables from my ADHD.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

"No songs in English should not be allowed..." I know what she's trying to say, but damn, she doesn't even use English well enough for this kind of BS

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Petitioner’s counsel has requested documentation of a judicial warrant for his arrest, any charging documents, or other authority supporting his detention. See Santiago Decl. ¶¶ 18–20. ICE has provided no response. Id. To date, ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings, charged him with violating immigration law, set bond, issued a Notice to Appear, or otherwise processed him. See Pet. ¶¶ 16, 49. In Respondent’s Opposition brief, the government states “ICE intends to take further action consistent with the laws prescribed under the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) once Petitioner is released from medical care and it can conduct the examination as [prescribed] in 8 C.F.R § 287.3.” Opp. at 4. Neither Petitioner nor Respondents have provided the Court with information about Petitioner’s citizenship, whether he has violated any law or regulation, or any information that would suggest that Petitioner is a flight risk.
