(If I’d known I’d add to this, I might have been less spendthrift with characters above!) To elaborate, I think “find pictures of my dog Bruno between January and March” is a great use for AI. I think “throw my unique voice down the toilet” is an awful use. Most seem to resemble the former, thnkflly

I’m generally anti-AI, but also like the new iOS tools. But the “make this text ‘businesslike’” button infuriates me. We’re already in a world where deviation from the way old, straight, white men talk - or how they’re perceived to - is valued less than conformity. But defiance can also be progress!

It feels like the fundamental disconnect in American politics to me: the GOP expects its voters to adapt to views it dictates, instead of being responsive to views of voters. Trump personifies it: he stakes a position, and the rest of the party must follow. They don’t want to persuade/be persuaded

This ties so strongly to the homogeneity issue I’ve always argued: if people actually start using these things, we all start sounding the same, and language (and so many related concepts) become redundant boilerplate, instead of useful communication tools

Ahhhh these fuckers! Of course.

(I will say I do think too many headlines are contradictory to the content of their articles, though!)

Over time, Slashdot comments were loaded with people who didn't, uh, RTFA (which became a common refrain). When I saw the frequency at which that happened, I made conscious efforts not to fall into the same trap. You'd think others might do the same, but.. 🤷‍♂️ I suspect the bandwagon works both ways..

holy shit yes

Bob's confirmation was on Zoom, but it was still wild to be in a tiny call with a member of the JCS!
