All this AI talk has me needing to say something. Using generative AI to write a book does NOT make you an author, and it never will.

My face when someone says "irregardless".

Nobody actually likes sauerkraut. If you grew up eating it & developed some sort of Stockholm syndrome complex, you have my full sympathy & I withhold all judgment. But there is no way a grown adult tries sauerkraut for the first time & says "yum... more please"

Consider that the dumbest people you know are repeatedly being told "You're absolutely right!" by LLMs.

Rohirrim-Isengard Migration Treaty signed this morning. The agreement will see 'untold thousands' of Uruk-hai engineers and scimitar operators freely flood into the kingdom in a 'disruptively transformative' process. Here's why it's a good thing:

They're doing Stage 1 to Japan now

They had already allocated his organs. In 2015, Texas father George Pickering II refused to accept doctors’ declaration that his son was brain dead following a massive stroke. When hospital staff began withdrawing life support & had already contacted organ donation services. Pickering took a stand & barricaded himself inside the hospital room with a gun triggering a tense three-hour SWAT standoff. During negotiations, Pickering repeatedly insisted his son was still alive. Then came a moment that changed everything: on command, his son squeezed his hand, proving he was still responsive. Pickering eventually surrendered peacefully and spent nearly a year in jail for his actions. Against all expectations, his son survived and went on to recover. Why did he spend time in jail when he was just defending his son’s life. When you are an organ donor, they try to take you off life support pretty quickly.

Is the problem that AI can't produce quality fiction, or that it's impossible to tell whether an author uses AI? Because those two things are contradictory.

Found an AI perspective I’d never heard before from a teacher of teens. It’s a bit meandering but your three minutes will be well used.
