a lot of people seem incapable of giving their favorite characters or OCS opinions that they themselves disagree with and that's very very boring on my opinion

[waddei]

" X character would hate ai art" "x character would vote for (politician you like)" like idk I think making every character a perfect woke internet leftists is boring as fuck. You have to accept that some of your faves would be "apolitical" centrists that don't vote

"only a poor artisan blames his tools" is such bullshit, in almost every imaginable line of work the quality of the tools you have access to plays a massive role in the quality of the end product, sometimes in excess of the role played by individual skill! For example, some people have to code in javascript

on one hand i do want coco and agott to defeat the oppressive witch government with their powers of little girl friendship. on the other hand wouldnt it be fun if they grew up exactly as Punished as qifrey and olruggio did and took up the mantle of living half off the grid to do questionable magical research away from prying eyes with a few plucky apprentices. wouldnt that be fun for them.

[ot3]

lately i've been really gripped with visions of a coco who is not able to save her mother until they're around the same age... a coco who is both relieved and comforted to have her mother back and treating her as a child but infantilized and alienated by it at the same time because it makes it really settle in how she can't ever get the way it felt to live with her mother back. and her mom who is trying to treat coco like she normally would to compensate for the fact that everything is clearly not normal and her beloved daughter is now a terrifyingly powerful stranger who somebody else finished raising. both of them trying to settle into being kind of peers while also trying to deal with the fact that they're forced to see the other as simultaneously a kind of authority figure and something vulnerable to be protected. and of course it goes without saying that agott is also there bringing her own mommy issues into the equation just sort of sprinkled on top as seasoning. we could have fun here we could have lots of fun

For a city to be walkable. It must also be sittable.

#every time I read this phrase the same thing happens#I read it as shittable and go wait that can't be right#oh right they were talking about public benches that makes more sense#but public bathrooms available without fees should also be a thing tho#cities should definitely be shittable#it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME

it must also be shittable

The thing about the way people talk about the "cognitive effects" of AI use on this website is that 9 times out of 10 the way they do it leaves me thinking "damn friend you were *really* itching for a largely uncontroversial way of calling people 'retarded' huh"

[imsobadatnicknames2]

rn I can't find the screenshot I took, but the other day I saw someone (who as far as I could tell had never even mentioned using AI for anything) say they didn't understand something only for another person to reply with something like "this is what you get when you're unable to read anything without getting chatgpt to summarize for you" and like sorry but at that point what would have been the actual difference between that and just calling them the fucking slur?

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Okay I found the screenshot

The post in question wasn't even about AI at all, nor did person A mention using AI anywhere, so it's clear person B is just bringing it up out of nowhere as one of their go-to ways of insulting people's intelligence. Which like. When you get down to the underlying implications I don't think trying to insult someone's intelligence by invoking the idea of them having an atrophied brain from using too much chatgpt is meaningfully less ableist than doing so by invoking the idea of them having a developmental disorder.

what cognitive decline are you talking about 😭 are we talking about literacy (please define what you mean if you use that term)? Are we talking about analytical ability (please define what you mean if you use that term)? Are we talking about comprehension of abstract ideas and concepts (please define what you mean if you use that term)? Are we talking about socialising (please define what you mean if you use that term)? Do you even know what you mean when you say cognitive decline? What does “rely on” mean in this context? Is someone relying on a tool or program inherently bad? If not, what criteria should we use to determine if that reliance is “good” or “bad”? What does “good” and “bad” mean within this criteria? If we determine this case to be “bad,” what should be done with the person relying on the tool, and how do we determine what should be done with them? 

And more importantly, assuming this is 100% correct - so what if that is true? Did post-industrial societies experience collective cognitive decline once the vast majority of people lost the skills to weave their own clothing, grow their own food, etc? When the calculator was invented, did we experience collective cognitive decline by losing the ability to do long division and memorise multiplication tables? When auto-correct and grammar checking programs become ubiquitous, did everyone collectively get worse at grammar and spelling? Like, in many of those cases, using the collective definitions of cognitive decline of the day, probably! Is that bad? Is that morally wrong? Is that evil? What are the societal stakes of the problem you’re pointing out?
