Yikes. As someone who has seen so many issues with people and contracts… don’t do this.
I cannot stress enough that you should not in any circumstances be using an AI-generated summary when you are signing contracts of any kind

(and whatever else it is they are striking for)
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Autistic people need two types of accommodations:
Type #1: Ear defenders, quiet workstations, note taking apps
Type #2: Decolonized workplaces, justice for all, truly sustainable work
Employers freak out about #1 and never even see #2 coming.

I always say that hard work buys you a lotto ticket, but luck still draws it. Plenty of really talented people will never ever find success. There are things you can do to buy additional lotto tickets like making connections and showing up, but luck will always, always be a factor.

Every time I watch Wall-E, I think about how my uncle (a literal digital art professor) told me it was the only Pixar movie he didn’t like because it was “devoid of humanity” and every time I ponder how anyone can think that because I feel like it has more humanity than most stories about humans.

People will condemn SNAP, saying it’s not everyone else’s responsibility to make sure people get fed, and in the same breath they’ll support farm subsidies because it’s everyone else’s responsibility to make sure people get fed.

Computer generated images cannot compete with practical effects. AI cannot defeat stop motion. It cannot possibly have the heart. Animation needs to have human hands on it or it doesn’t work.

Yeah, your favorite writer/actor/musician/etc isn't inherently a better human than any of their fans and we have some (unfortunately) recent evidence that they can be generally worse. We're not amazing creatures of light or any of that nonsense. We're just usually decently good at our jobs.
In my experience, any creative who expects you to act as if you're talking to one of your betters is a creative you can kick to the curb.

The thing I want to stress to people: Authors (and other artists you admire) don't *expect* you to be scintillating when you meet us, so don't worry about being clever. What *is* appreciated is if you're nice. Just be nice! Nice is good!
But what if I say something completely stupid?? My anxiety is too high to speak coherently when meeting an author. The most I can manage is something like "thank you for writing and sharing your work. It has become my friend and I brought it here for you to sign, please." Then I flee.
