I hate when you touch a Bad Texture and can't get rid of the lingering feel of it

To be clear, I just thought this was funny. I won't extrapolate from dumb tweets to "society is collapsing!" But for the curious it started with some tech bro saying he was reading The Hobbit to his kids, who liked it, and it inspired a lot of comments like this:

You know what? I think I will. Ellipsus is the ONLY Googledocs replacement I can find that has "AI free" as a selling point rather than a concession. Not "opt-out", not "We hear you", they LEGALLY STATE they don't use Gen AI or LLMs. Plus it's easy to use and feels nice. I want to support that.

If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.

Idaho health officials are investigating how nearly 60 people got sick after drinking raw milk in the past two weeks. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare says they didn't name two dairies potentially linked to the outbreak “because this is a potential risk for any raw milk producer.”

It’s really frightening.

Hate learning that one of my favourite bands use AI. Don't matter how little or much; it's disheartening to see. #antiai

Thinking about Stargate SG-1, I love that tough stoic solider man Jack O'Neill is actually just as big of a nerd as Daniel and Sam, just a different flavour

This has become my approach to rp and fic writing lately. It's gonna be messy. It's not going to be some piece of literary genius. It's just going to exist imperfectly because that's how we defeat the shit spewing machine and its people

“So this is my small plea, to writers of all kinds – young and old, aspiring and accomplished, first-language or second. Consider your imperfect writing not as a flaw but as a gift. A signature.” Nothing replaces the human, the delightful messiness of the creative spirit at work. shorturl.at/fZtAC

Or you try to order something and the server ignores you, but a regular immediately pushes directly in front of you, places an order, gets served 3 coffees and a cake, then complains about there not being enough food and leaves dramatically

wow beautiful art! tag it as nsfw you fucking-

Ellipsus is committed to supporting human creatives in the age of AI—we’re working to build a human-led, human-affirming network to make sure that human creativity is protected. Because without art, we’re really screwed.

"the em dash means you used ai" "the oxford comma means you used ai" "the semi-colon means you used ai" should all authors now just resort to absolutely no grammar or punctuation in their works whatsoever so people who don't even read leave us alone

Real hfgdhfgd

Whatever you make of this case (and many open questions remain), one thing is clear: the vast majority of readers don’t want AI-generated work. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/b...

If you’ve taken the time to explain why AI is bad (for the arts, for democracy, for education, for everything) by posting online, or just explaining these issues to someone in your life—thank you. The pushback is working. You have quite literally made a difference.

Dragon Age Inquisition for sure (and DA2) 😆 (God I hope I'm doing the quoting thing right)

How do people find the motivation to continue to draw and write with AI cropping up everywhere. Reading that Meta pirates 47 TB worth of books to train their AI is just making me not wanna write again. #antiai

Consider falling in love with your friend's OCs while they fall in love with ✨your✨ OCs, and then you make art/write fics for each other (or even enjoy being creative on OC projects together!), and then life becomes just a little bit more worth living 🖤

Having hyperfixation on your own OCs sucks sometimes, what do you mean I need to make my own content to enjoy it, what do you mean I can't just pull it out off my head /lh

Instead of "I apologize for the delay," write "thank you for your patience." In lieu of "sorry for the oversight," write "if you're so perfect, why don't you fu*king do it, Marsha." Follow me for more etiquette tips. 😁
