Throwback to one of my most badass moments ever because I feel like hyping myself up. It's arrogant as hell too, but judge me for yourself.
When I was in a university course (after graduating already), we were doing a final project and the lecturer said: "You can include AI-generated passages in your project, but you have to cite the AI as a source"
And I guess I must have made a face, as you do when AI is mentioned, because she turned to me and went: "Well, you have to cite it."
To which I obviously replied: "Sorry for whatever expression I just made, what I meant is I wasn’t going to use AI at all."
She looked sort of flabberghasted and asked me: "Why not? You can use it, if you cite it as a source."
And I looked this middle aged woman with multiple academic titles in the eyes and said in my coldest, most deadpan voice:
"Because I can write it better."
And let me tell you, I have rarely, before or after, been able to ride such a wave of euphoria as I did when the words registered, because her expression morphed into this shocked respect and she just nodded and I could see her perception of me shifting (again).
And a month later, she begged me to apply for a PhD, which I didn’t do at the time, because I was bloody stupid, so there's no moral to the story other than:
Fuck AI, you can write it better.
