I was going to post this article this weekend but Duolingo's recent doubling down on replacing humans with generative AI pushed me to get it out sooner.
Here's a list of amazing apps for learning Japanese that DON'T use generative AI!

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately?
anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

GenAI isn't programmed to be accurate and check facts. More people need to realise it is NOT a search engine, it's a chat bot programmed to sound human through the statistical likelihood that words will appear in a certain order.
LLMs are not search engines. Do not use them for research.

"I'm cringe but I'm free" is a catchy meme phrase and all but it's also 100% true. Life is a lot more fun when u can just openly enjoy weird shit you like without worrying so much about peer pressure or what other ppl will think. Why live ur one precious life so beholden to other ppl's opinions of u
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance.
Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Oh please please i am begging, don't use generative AI for any reason if you can avoid it.
It's being marketed as a quick time-saver, but it's messy, inaccurate, it is putting entire industries of people out of work, and the environmental impacts (energy and water usage) are huge and debilitating.

wrote for the first time in a while📝 honestly felt a bit pointless with *vague gesture* everything going on, but I love the characters in this manuscript and know that it will be cathartic for someone (even if its just me)😊 #amwriting

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Never forget that masking is more than just protecting yourself from covid.
It’s an act of compassion, resistance, solidarity and community care.
It shows that you don’t believe people are expendable. That you refuse to be responsible for someone else’s suffering.
The kindness is in the trying.

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.
