Ever notice how men act like women’s rage is a personal attack? As if our anger isn’t just as valid as theirs. 😏 Time to flip the script, darlings—let’s own that fire and watch them squirm.

I’m a good listener. I make Hello You the Shropshire podcast: intelligent, progressive, quirky conversation for Shropshire and the wider world. Ex BBC radio. Event/panel host, photographer, musician, empath, folk festival MC.
I will not promise to update it later, who has the time. You'd need a daily live blog.
As an illustrator, I set myself a rule that I would not interact with any business or service that uses AI art. This is becoming increasingly difficult and even my daughter's school are using it for posters now. We truly live in hell
Hahahahahaha I wanted to type something here but I'm laughing too hard "could you still get through an entire workday" what the fuck, man, you just sharpied "I am incompetent" on your forehead.

this is sociologically interesting. people who haven't acquired skills through education or experience now think they're *indispensible* compared to those who have.

Literally my life would get easier, because the energy I have to put in to AVOID genAI tools is actually disruptive. This sounds like paradise.

honestly if all that stuff disappeared my days would improve? I wouldn't have to navigate cryptic menus to opt out everywhere, I wouldn't see shifty chatgpt posters everywhere I wouldn't have to hear ppl say "I asked chatgpt..."

Sorry but the OP is so funny. "Oh you hate AI? Well what if all these things that suck and burn natural resources, and that also stole from you, which you have never used even once went away?" What point is this meant to prove?

Even if you set aside all the plagiarism and environmental damage, it isn't worth using because it sucks ass. The only things it might be useful for are very entry level. And if you're using it for that you have no business using it at all because you won't be able to tell when it's full of shit.
I've used Claude a few times because my boss felt it was important to know a little about it. So I picked a few things I was having a hard time figuring out. In both cases it wasn't even REMOTELY helpful, and instead was just hours of frustration and wasted time.
I have never entered anything but "how do I turn you off" into a slop prompt. How much of their thinking do they offload to that shit
We’ve lived perfectly fine without it AND we lived happier lives before the internet. I’d happily get rid of it all!

A woman sits on the Tube. She has a large, intensely textured handbag on her lap. She is saying, ‘So she got what she wanted. And she realised she didn’t want it. But it was too late.’
