"it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed"
This.
This right here.
I'm so, SO tired of having to scrutinize any piece of art that even remotely resembles genAI slop just to determine whether or not it's worth a second thought or any admiration.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

I saw this phrase used in relation to KH but I'm gonna be real, the quote "maybe the series makes sense if you engage with it as a medium and not as a fucking bullet point list on tvtropes." could apply to SO MANY long running media franchises atp, not just KH and not even just games.

"Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks!

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Exeter have found that getting vaccinated against shingles- a painful and debilitating condition that can flare up years after infection from varicella zoster virus- not only LOWERS the risk of infection, but can also PROTECT against Alzheimer’s disease!

Friendly reminder that not everyone likes to put all of their trauma on the internet (no shame to those who do) so you never really know who you're quote skeeting and what they've endured.

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

The bears name is Kumma and it talks about where to find knives and sexual fantasies. I didn't think I'd live long enough to see the cautionary tale of the Torment Nexus extend to a toy company creating a real life Monokuma.

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much”
SNAP does not drive up grocery prices.
That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed.
For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy.
While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

I think allowing for use of LLMs for works on AO3 was a massive mistake.
That isn't fan created work, that is machine generated predictive text which has plagiarized fan created works. It shouldn't be considered fanfiction or transformative.

I think so much kindness isn’t just intentional acts of kindness, but also the unintentional kind. The ‘I remembered you’ kind. The ‘you can come back when you’re ready, you’ll still have a place with us here’ kind. The ‘we expect nothing of you but just your presence, thank you for being here’ kind

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?
