If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

My fiancé & I are getting married in 11 days and for the reception, we created a physical version of @blankcheck.bsky.social’s Box Office Game for our guests to play. I’m so happy with how it turned out! 17 weekends, 5 movies in each weekend, and only 1 movie that doesn’t exist.
