In my opinion the only ethical use of AI in Larian games is summarising who I am and what the hell I’m supposed to be doing when I come back to the game six months later

I posted elsewhere how Deut 22 is an inadequate definition of sexual assault, and progressive revelation means we're not locked into that definition forever.
Anyway, the fundies are mad, but a bunch don't actually know what "progressive revelation" is? They thought "progressive" as in "liberal"?

Code generation is average.
Reasoning skills poor.
Attention to detail poor.
I ended up doing the work myself while it blabbered incoherent and useless advice at me.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.
