Note: a hell of a lot of millennials have Boomer parents who universalize their preferences and experiences and taught them to their kids. You may not even realize that There Are Other Options.

Case in point: my mother hates chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Despises it. Cannot fathom why it exists. If she were ruler of everything (god help us all) she would ban it. She would not let me order it as a child because “it’s terrible and you won’t like it.” And when she talks about people who like things she doesn’t, inevitably their tastes are “worse” than hers. Not different- worse.

I didn’t try chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream till I was in college and had a friend who loved it. (It’s fine- not my favorite but a perfectly acceptable ice cream type.)

My mother is not the only one who does this. Poke at some of the things you and your parents share and make sure your approach to them is, y’know, rational.

I just watched a video about students getting their papers falsely flagged for using AI, even when they didn’t, and the advice was things like, “Leave in incorrect grammar,” “If you’re quoting something, don’t copy and paste it, type it out manually because it leaves a metadata trail that you used the copy/paste function and that's a flag,” “Write in the cloud so there’s a version history,” and the one that really got me, “if you find you write in a manner that can sounds too robotic or professional and it gets flagged, go to the writing center so a writing tutor can help you sound more humanly flawed,” and like what the actual fuck.

Like I get that is practical advice, but people should not have to fucking do that. They should not have to train themselves around not sounding like AI, when AI only sounds like that BECAUSE it was trained on them.

I spent so much of my life learning how to write, I shouldn't have to unlearn that because some computer algorithm learned from me.
