generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023

people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

I saw ai generated greeting cards in a stationary shop today and I swear if anyone thinks of giving me an ai generated birthday card this year or any, it's on sight

Everyone on the bus and in town is just coughing with their mouths open. Was there not two fucking years of public messaging on not spraying your germs on people 🙃

My last passport photo was taken in 2016 so I had that full 2016 glam look so it looked great.

My new passport photo looks like I don't have jaw

So, the lesson here, kids, is if you're getting a photo taken and you know it's gonna be in black & white and overexposed, 2016 makeup is the way to go

I keep telling Instagram that I don't want to see posts about the wizard franchise by the author that shall not be named. Every time a post about it pops up. Yet I keep seeing it, even after giving a list of hashtags and words I don't want to see.

Wtf is going on? Just let it die already.

After having allowed COVID to change how I look at disease I really have a hard time believing we just accepted the flu to be what it is.

Thousands upon thousands of people dead a year. Others developing post-viral complications, and the only protection being a vaccine that sometimes doesn't work.

Yearly reminder that you CAN just become a different person, you're not as imprisoned in your life as you think. You can just be the one who dresses nice or exercises or reads a lot, or whatever. You can just start doing it, some people might make fun of you but they don't really care.

Rewatching Supernatural for the millionth time in 13 years and Dean releasing his dad is possessed by a demon because the demon is nicer to him than John is never hurts less

This isn't my first year using brown paper to wrap Christmas presents but I don't remember it being so hard to fold and stick down previous years 😫

I used go so hard on the em dash but somewhere along the way, it just faded out of my writing style. Now I'm using it again out of pure spite

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

Please keep creating art. Every day of the past 5 years has felt like a swift kick but we need real creation more than ever for morale and humanity

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.

In my journo days, it was pitching unprompted story ideas that were irrelevant for the publications. Literally telling me to write about Irish history on US celeb/entertainment sites because "Americans with Irish ancestry love that" and refusing to understand why I wouldn't suggest it to the editor
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!
