I've been wanting to write an essay on my thoughts on AI for a while now, after all these years in the hype cycle, drowning in slop.

So yesterday I finally sat down and wrote a long one summing up my criticisms and current outlook, after using the dumb clanker to vibe-code something that actually kinda worked for the first time.

Still some light editing to do, but I'll share soon.

@Emmacox@writing.exchange Ah, but of course the vast advertising machine knows us better than we know ourselves! /s

Mine has put me in the "surely you're starting to go bald by now" camp 👴

Only remembering my age these days thanks to the shifting targeted advertisements I receive on my personal ad device.

Posting to the masses instead of texting a friend who would understand is just crowdsourcing human connection. Send toot.
