What I learned tonight is the future of the Democratic Party is a trans Muslim CIA agent wine mom who wants to eliminate capitalism and barter with people on the free bus.

The Tylenol convo is not new. This is bait. Don’t take it. We have to stay focused especially those of us in mental health and helping professions.

They will stand and spew word salad for a day. Everyone will be amazed they didn’t eat or go the bathroom and forget to keep them accountable.
I don't think politicians should say "people will die" without explaining what they're doing to stop/minimize that
Republicans are forcing hospitals, nursing homes and health clinics to close.
People will die.
You deserve better.

ON TOP of the ethical reasons to not use AI, it's also
1) bad at what it does
2) literally makes you stupider
3) has HUGE environmental costs: every search is equivalent to pouring out an entire bottle of water. It's not worth it to generate a cutesy emoji or have it write an error-riddled draft.

AI was trained on my books (without my permission and against my will) so this annoys me. I never use AI. Not for research, not for images, not for writing. AI used me.
I keep seeing reports of non-AI users being told that an AI detector has dubbed their work AI generated, and it makes me insane because:
1) AI detection tools *are themselves AI* and thus entirely bullshit; and
2) if an AI was trained on your works, of COURSE it’ll flag you as sounding “like” AI!
