Is editing boring, cumbersome, confusing, inexact, opaque, time-consuming, and tedious? YES YES YES. That's normal. AI might be able to alleviate some of that discomfort, but at great personal cost. This is not a "doing it the hard way is more noble" thing. It's the WHOLE of the thing period.

Please, please, please stop using AI. Its environmental impacts are devastating. People keep using it for social media trends that die in a week - but when people, animals, and/or the planet die, it’s forever.
