My daughters both got woollen socks so they are safe 🙏

"It just assists my writing"

Fuck you, go actually write

"She probably doesn't mean me"

I do.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

If you use AI to pump out a book, that is not writing. You wrote nothing. You stole from other authors and used a tool made by maniacs. People will know. You've taken away rather than given something. Also...

If A.I. was used to make a comic, I simply do not want to read it. Period. I buy books to support actual humans making art, not guys being paid a dollar to type shit into the plagiarism machine.
