Yes it's a plagiarism machine meant to put us all out of work and enrich the worst people alive and yes one request expends more energy than it takes to power Buffalo for a week, but more than that anything to do with AI is just corny dork-made shit. It fucking sucks and so do you if you use it.

guy that rang up our Christmas tree yesterday is also a Durham sanitation worker. City workers shouldn't have to work two jobs to get by; school bus drivers should be paid fairly so that there are enough drivers for the district to run busses five days a week - these are such basic things.
