All individuals of a species come from the complex interactions of their genes and their environment, & the rich developmental endowment epigentically inherited from the parent.
Nothing can replace or recreate that.
In this Anthropocene, once lost, the species is lost forever.

Thanks to @allthebeset.bsky.social for pointing out the Underground Railroad marker by the Maywood, Ill., McDonald’s. Feel free to tag me when you share a historical marker! (And use alt text in your photos. It helps with accessibility and allows you to add information that won’t fit in your skeet!)
There’s a Harriet Tubman quote on the marker that says:
If ya' wanna be free, keep a goin'
If ya' tired, keep a goin'
If ya' scared, keep a goin'
If ya hungry, keep a goin'
If ya' wanna taste freedom, keep a goin'
If ya' wanna be free, keep a goin'
If ya' tired, keep a goin'
If ya' scared, keep a goin'
If ya hungry, keep a goin'
If ya' wanna taste freedom, keep a goin'

I will never understand why, with so much information at our fingertips and the ability to search for it ourselves, anyone needs AI as an intermediary to muck everything up. You can also learn a lot by asking real, knowledgeable people, and not wonky, lake-draining formulae owned by rich fascists.
