There's no grit or shock in AI 'writing'. It is so intent on being inoffensive that it engenders no real feeling or emotion at all.

It's empty, lifeless.

A drained, flaccid penis of writing, if you will, as opposed to a surging, lust-driven phallus.
Jacked off so much, I started writing erotica to at least engage my mind while I beat it. Ended up finding a groove, and made actual money from commissions. Sadly, the AI boom smothered my dream in its cradle.

Felt dizzy all yesterday and was so upset about my ongoing illnesses. Feel so betrayed by my own body tbh. Upsetting.
Anyway, slept well last night for a change, and feel more positive today.
