jovie's inside thoughts

But I'm so tired of AI. I'm so tired of so many companies trying to make it a thing, even while the general consumer grows more and more opposed to it.

My company is so proud of being "people forward" and having a building that's "energy efficient" and then they try to tell us to use AI to write emails.

My emails are just fine, thank you. If someone needs to write theirs better, have then take a business writing class. It's probably even cheaper to have everyone at the company take a class on business writing than trying to integrate AI into everything would be in the long run.

Also, I'd be willing to take a business writing class. I will NEVER use co-pilot. I'm morally against it.

None of them had seen it, but my (racist, right-wing, "patriotic") uncle was talking about how he hoped it would be as good as the original Little House TV Series.

I couldn't help but laugh (literally out loud) because I know for a fact that if he ever gets around to watching it, the next time I'm forced to be around this man because of a wedding or something, he's going to be going on a rant about how it's too woke.

Because it doesn't leave out the reality of how westward expansion displaced so many people from their native lands.

Not even to mention that my family is Mormon, and Mormons have an absurd amount of pride in their own part in westward expansion. For all I heard about the pioneers growing up, I rarely heard about the displacement (and outright murder) of the people who lived on the lands the Mormons "settled."
