Outsourcing to AI implies you do not care about the quality of that particular piece. But every project is limited by it’s weakest part so the apathy infects everything. Brilliant efforts are going to be missed by including and deferring to AI.

I had thought being a man was to be noble in reason, infinite in faculties; in action how like an angel, in apprehension, how like a god. The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
Turns out, man delights not me, nor does woman neither.
Turns out, man delights not me, nor does woman neither.
i was young i thought being a man was so simple, just gotta be swift as a coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire, mysterious as the dark side of the moon... turns out there's all these social codes to masculinity

You didn’t hear this from us, but the Old English word 'sibb' meant “related by blood.”
This is where we get the 'sibling.'
And 'godsibb' essentially meant “godparent.”
Over time, it came to mean "close friend."
Now it is something we share w/ close friends...
'gossip.'
