Irish-Canadian Twitter exile (had to leave as I hate fascists): sci-fi writing, fantasy, horror, books, science … cats. I try--not always successfully--to avoid politics in my posts, but don't hold back in replies.

When I asked it to generate a pic of anti-fascist spray, ChatGPT said it couldn’t create images depicting weapons or harm directed at any group. I then argued with it about how undesirable fascists have historically been and about whether a can is actually a weapon till it gave in and made the pic.

I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...
