Parasocial relationships are absolutely terrifying. It’s so disturbing to be treated like an object & even more so when a stranger tries leaking into parts of my life.
Please. PLEASE don’t do this if you’re a fan of someone’s work.
Feeling incredibly violated.

Sharing this with my students so I figured I'd also share it with everyone here.
Hopefully this image is still relevant given Google's changes. Save this on your computer or phone and refer to it as needed.

Literally this. Please think before feeding AI your things willingly. You can use it as a tool to assist you if really needed (not creatively duh, just for things like explaining what your text book is saying if you really must) but do not just throw your identity to the AI like you're worthless...
HEY CAN WE NOT??? Some guy got caught feeding everyone’s Bluesky data into AI just a few weeks ago and now y’all are just throwing it into the machine anyway? You don’t need AI to roast yourselves, some of you do it on your own.
