"This story doesn't need a sandworm"
This is almost always wrong. Arguably, EVERY story benefits from adding a huge subterranean worm with quasi-mystical or semi-supernatural powers, or equivalent (similar to Moby Dick).
Obviously the bigger the worm, the more literary quality it adds.

I think one of my biggest issues with current AI hype is that so much of the proposed ideas are ones that could be done quicker and easier with a simple program.
Using AI to process a document is using a supercomputer to run a spreadsheet function. It's unnecessary.

People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves

Sometimes the simplest statements have the strongest force. The image is ostensibly a representation of the struggle to preserve life against the onslaught of the Berserker war machines described by Fred Saberhagen. 1/3

AI is a more than a dead-end: it is death. The death of creativity, the death of the paid artist, and the death of the environment. But, hey! Some rich people got even more money, and lazy people got a shitty image or text.
reminder AI "art" is a climate change escalation movement
I will always rant about the creative reality of being fundamentally human in expression and can't be automated, but I think it's most important to make sure every time you see an ai image, you're closer to a seasonal disaster killing you

Disgusted and disappointed to see the Mucha Museum creating and promoting A¡ artwork, then doubling down after receiving valid criticism. They could have used their platform to uplift human artists but chose to support inethical practices instead. What is the art world coming to?

Helped a waitress sneak her boyfriend in after hours as I dug through the lost and found for my camera. My first clue it was just a dream should have been that she was Arwen, the second that he was Aragorn, son of Arathorn, chieftain of the Dúnedain of Arnor, captain of the host of the West.

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations
