I never use ChatGPT because people in my family who were forced to leave school early always said ability to read and write was a blessing.
Literacy is a right we need to protect.

"The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" details how he was being taught to read by his enslaver's wife, and the "Master" found out, flew into a rage, and said it was dangerous & would change him.
This is how young Douglass realized that literacy (reading & writing) was key to liberation.

Back when I was more active in the adoptee community, I recall a lot of "term policing" from the industry. You weren't supposed to use "adoptee." You couldn't say "real family" for people actually related to you. Fuck that. I as the "child" in the center of all this, I can use any language I want.
