It's very easy:
Just don't. The idea that Copilot or ChatGPT are suddenly essential tools is just buying into the corporate ad blitz.
Games were made just fine (well, relatively) up through...what, 2023? 2024? They didn't suddenly become VITAL for budgets or design docs in the last 2-3 years.

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

If your book cover is AI, why the fuck should anyone support your creative work?
Artists know that you’re not making 6 figures & are generally willing to work with you—payment plans, simplifying your ideas, etc.
Kneecapping another creative professional to sell your own creative work is vile.

I try to see 52 new-to-me movies every year. I don’t think I’ve EVER made it—I like to rewatch things too much—but #1 this year is The Secret of Roan Inish & HOW DID I MISS THIS AS A CHILD? I was 7 when this came out & I would have worn out the VHS.

Remember how in 2021 my partner was teaching ESL online and I was a full time freelance writer, and we were both making decent-for-us incomes? And we were in our late 30’s and sort-of close to financially stable for the first time in our lives?
