Ok like. Imagine life without ads. You wake up, check your messages across a variety of apps, no ads. You get up and put on the tv while you prep your breakfast, no ads. Maybe you drive somewhere and switch on the radio, no ads. Maybe you drive a long distance, yet somehow, not a single billboard on your path. You pick up a newspaper or magazine to pass the time, no advertisements only articles. You turn on your game console, the home screen is just about your games, no ads to buy more. You open a streaming app, you don't pay extra for no ads, there's just no ads ever.

This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.

Please stop blaming the fucking software for the abusive actions of capitalist cunts. Please. You need to actually hold the human actors in charge of this shit responsible.

Consider: it is the healthiest and most normal thing in the world to go to your close friends and loved ones with problems in your friendships and relationships. Not to gossip, not to talk shit, but I go "Hey, me and (x, not related to my current partners) are on the rocks right now, can I talk it out with you?" and then you get input, advice, you get to process your feelings through conversation, then you're probably more equipped to go back to the person and go "hey I've been thinking and processing, I feel xyz."

My favorite advice from my favorite prof was to stop worrying so much about making dialogue signifiers "exciting."

write the fanfic. even if its grammatically incorrect. even if its self indulgent. even if it gets no interactions. even if the characters are ooc. even if its not consistent. fanfiction doesn’t have to (and is never going to be) perfect
