What kills me is when people respond "well, how would they implement that?" I dunno, but I'm not the one who solicited thousands of dollars in donations under the pretense that I was the only one qualified to figure it out.

I remember the in-setting justification for not taking Unas hosts is "Humans are easier to repair with a Sarcophagus" but I suspect the only other thing you can do after Sokar's gone is to visit their homeworld, which would mean a lot of expensive costumes.

There is a vast swathe of criminal and media law that social media sites have somehow convinced successive governments that they're exempt from. "But we wouldn't be able to exist as we currently do if we had to obey the law" is not an argument that would be accepted from any other industry.

Yeah, the laws of physics are brutal for interstellar travel, but it is astonishingly dumb to compare something difficult+ to something the laws of physics immediately say "that's ludicrous, stop wasting my time".

How? How do you double-check the accuracy, if you're not already an expert? Ask a different GenAI? Or do you, you know... Have to go and do the research you would have done anyway, pre-AI? Because I'm buggered if I can think of how you do that in a way where the GenAI saved you time.

Ok, we're into the intro video, and we've been told that "you'll learn why crafting clear, precise prompts is essential to getting accurate, helpful results from Generative AI". Which strongly implies that accurate results are possible, and if they're not, that's your fault.
