There’s so many movies I get recommended which are just awful. Reading the Wikipedia entry and plot is often all I need to understand if it’s worth it or not.

Is this really AI, or just garbage algorithms by Tesla?

When I think of Fuck AI, I want to call out the art theft, the garbage books, the shit it spews.

When I was a kid, there was a phase where everyone was obsessed with red flannel. Went on for like 3 months.

Imagine a pro dominantly black/Latino school in the hood where we’re all dressing up like Al Borland from Home Improvement.

Sweet! I’ve only played it on my Steam Deck since earlier this year.

Glad to see it’s finally verified.

Ugh seems like a bore to read. AI, please summarize and ELI5 using 2010 memes.

I find that a more human trait with writing.

People go on and on about nothing and have broken sentence fragments. AI tends to be “too clean”.

I hate them. They’re fine on posters.

But if I see them multiple times in a block of text, I question the author.

The summary isnt hitting the nuance.

I see a lot of AI garbage.

You get emojis as list elements. You see a lot of dry writing, like you’re reading a blog. You get vague nothings that sound good, but are meaningless.

Not really. Spell check would only correct typos and grammar. It’s still your style, your thoughts, your expression with the language.

If you’re putting your whole essay into a AI tool, yeah… It’s going to turn it into garbage with the list above. And that’s on you.

Yeah but before, we could eat BBQ and blow off fireworks and pretend like America is going to fix itself.

Literally nobody I know is doing a cook out.

We have some scheduled on July 12th.

As we watch Kanye, Asmongold, [random influencer] continues to say and encourage their fan base to believe in the most terrible shit…

Remember that if their actions start affecting too much of their pocketbook, they can just apologize. Oh, and pay PR shills to clean up their mess.

PewDiePie spent years putting that belief out in many different ways. What you saw in the news was just what was reported. There’s no remorse. Just a “Well sorry that happened”.

You’re not misremembering.

He had a team scrub that off the internet and now a bunch of people have been gaslit.

PewDiePie’s PR machine got you so good you’re defending a multimillionaire for his BS.

He didn’t really apologize at all. He brushed it off, moved on, and then everyone pretended like it didn’t exist.

His PR machine worked hard to clean up his mess.

Imagine if JK Rowling’s got quiet then two years later, came back and everyone gaslight you into saying they just went through a phase.

And yet, I’m the one getting heavily down voted.

Nah I’m saying you say racist shit, you don’t get off the hook.

Pretty much. The whole “Internet is forever” doesn’t mean shit if you can be a dick and then throw money to PR fix your reputation.

Yeah. Guy does a few Nazi things and anti-Semitic things a few years ago and he has to live with that reputation forever? . And come on, why are you living in the past? Just because Kanye straight off said some Nazi shit every few months? Dude, separate the art from the artist!

Oh, and Kevin Spacey did a bit of rape back then. But it was so long ago!

And while we’re here, Bill Cosby drugged those girls in the 70s. Like my dude, who wasn’t a little edgy back then?

You will.

We’re a gateway drug.

I’m going to go against the grain and suggest finding people with like-minded life situations.

I had a friend who has a divorce at age 40. I did all I could as a friend, provide sympathy, check in. But he was extremely miserable, or just downright offensive.

Dating is hard at that age - I get it. I don’t need to hear his opinion about why women of today aren’t what he wants in every conversation.

I also cannot play his wingman. No, I’m not going to “pretend” to flirt with girls at a bar with him when I’m married.

But it became offensive. Like my niece turned into an adult and he asked: “Is she looking for a man?” Dude, you’re twenty years older. WTF.

Joke or not, as a married man, that’s not where I am in life. And yeah, I absolutely stopped hanging out with him because this version of him is hard to deal with.
