Gemini had the fucking GALL to get in my email and summarize a 3-line email, taking up more space than the email did visually.

Hit the “thumbs down.” It’s like, what’s wrong??? Was our summary wrong? Were there offensive words? Thank you for helping us improve our AI tools :)

I selected “other.”

Text box popped up. Please elaborate!

Wrote in “I can fucking read” submit comment

Then had to spend several minutes torching all my settings with a flamethrower. Let me be clear: I’m (a lawyer) notoriously picky with my words FOR GOOD REASON (lawyering) so I overwhelmingly reject Gmail’s “helpful” little assistance. My privacy settings were set to “full paranoia” a little less than a year ago when I saw the writing on the wall and knew public defenders could become a target in the future. Better to lock it all down now.

Gemini had crept in there and turned ALL that shit back on. And showed itself by saying “Jane Doe says she’s so sorry for your loss and offers to reschedule for Thursday at 3” over an email from Jane Doe saying “I’m so sorry for your loss. We could reschedule for Thursday at 3?”

Why would I possibly need this. In what universe would I need this. I have eyes and a brain and a reading speed that twenty years ago was measured at 1500 wpm with full comprehension on dense scientific text. Furthermore! If I read a summary, I’m not reading what they actually wrote. If I’m not reading what they actually wrote, I’m not using my own judgment on the words and phrases that they used.

I literally don’t understand why this is helpful at all. This is just avoidance. Using LLMs to write is specifically Not Writing. Using LLMs to summarize is Not Reading. Using them to make art is Avoiding Making Art. Just READ! Just WRITE! I was not put on this fucking planet to not read and not write and not make art! Avoidance is an anxiety symptom and indulging it gives it more power.

If I had an AI to do my most dreaded task, answer the phone for clients, I wouldn’t use it. Because an AI cannot help them. An AI cannot hear the facts of their case, make appropriate noises, be thoughtful and insightful, and then give them a realistic estimate of what could happen in court. I am unique. I cannot be replaced by machine learning. I have style. I have expertise. I don’t hallucinate unless I’m having a really great Friday night and I’m off the clock.

When I need to outsource tasks from my own brain, I give them to people I know can do them and that I trust to do them right.

Fuck, it just sneaks up on you, doesn’t it?? Goddamn Gemini jumpscare right in my own fucking email

I P address? baby it’s called the bathroom 😂

After the whole Byler thing I went back to my comfort fandom (Merlin) because honestly the entire fandom is sooo chill. Everyone died in the end, everyone is in love with everyone, and no ship is discounted because of canon.

You will never see an Arwen shipper shitting on Merthur, and a Merthur shipper would never shit on Arwen. Gwen is always treated with respect, and her role in Arthur’s growth is never questioned. Merlin is always treated as someone really important to Arthur and no one ever questions that.

Even the side characters. Lancelot and Gwaine will always make it known that they support Merlin first, but fics will always address their conflicting feelings with royalty due to bad experiences in the past being fought by Arthur.

Morgana, even when evil, is never just dismissed as evil. It is always fleshed out and reasonable and sympathetic because no one will let you forget that Morgana was a kind, gentle and loving person who was suffocated into becoming harsh, bitter and full of hate.

The only downside is the overlooking of Elyan, but in the corners I lurk at it is slowly getting better so I have hope.

I just fucking love the Merlin fandom, and honestly the writing was so good I genuinely can’t imagine a sadder more bittersweet and ironic ending (to this date I am devastated but it is so good).

dogs might look like their owners but cat people always have a cat with the same mental illness as them

[gean-grey-blog]

My last cat was owned by my friend's Trekkie uncle who passed very suddenly in a car crash. The family just couldn't take him and asked me to possibly foster him until they could. I almost immediately adopted him.

I would set my computer to play a video for him when I left for work. He got mad if it wasn't star trek. He learned to hit the spacebar to pause and start it.

I am and have always been a Trekkie. One time I was having a shit day bc I was in the middle of MCAS starting to kick my butt and I was just crying on my couch. He hopped onto the table and started star trek for me

Then he just stared at me like "did that work?"

And this was his staring face so yes of course it did

But I'm forever amused that I shared needing the same comfort show, with a cat

[i-used-to-be-a-spy]

Omg this is amazing

Like learning to pause???

And knowing it comforted you as well???

[gean-grey-blog]

It took him some trial and error, but he figured out pawing the keyboard in the area of the spacebar made it stop and start. And also at my mouse, which he had stolen bc I was paying too much attention to the video, in that picture

He was a very smart and like. Attenuated cat.

Look at that snatched waist and sock bun. She’d do numbers on Instagram

this website was a mistake

[pangur-and-grim]

I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything

I’m getting like Pink Diamond levels of foreshadowing with the Blue and Red button choice like, they put that Blue and Red shit in the other episodes and we thought nothing of it
