Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I'd really appreciate if writers these days took a look at their characters doing therapyspeak and whether that's appropriate for their work and their world.

By "therapyspeak" I mean speaking like this: "This is the emotion I'm feeling, and feeling that emotion makes me want to act in a way"

oh yikes

“The most disappointing aspect of this is how utterly hypocritical the use of AI is on Taylor’s project,” one longtime Swiftie seethed to Rolling Stone. “The fact that her/her team opted to go this route instead of hiring a real 3D/CGI artist when they have seemingly an endless budget (as a billionaire signed to a major record label) is a disappointing sign of the times.”

“I think it is very, very lazy and disappointing to use generative AI to create videos a human being very much could have done,” another die-hard fan said, this time on TikTok.

The reversal is particularly stinging to her fan base because Swift herself has criticized AI in the past after her likeness was stolen without her consent in graphic deepfaked imagery and then-candidate Donald Trump used an AI-generated Swift to endorse him during the election.
