I'm not going to lie to you, AI can help with coding and grammar editing (it's in grammarly now), but like...at what cost?

Entire neighborhoods being wiped out? A lack of critical thinking? Like what is all of this for?
lol as far as I can tell AI is doing exactly what I would expect, being complementary to the highly educated and potentially disrupting the lives of those with less or no education.

Guess which group makes up the majority?

The proliferation in AI generated art is so those with the means don't have to compensate those with actual talent.

It's lazy and it's also greedy.

lol call me crazy but i don't think we should be hyping something up just because a bunch of rich people said its cool.

Like maybe it's cool for them but like... is it cool for everyone else?

lol idk maybe it's the fact Black women warned everyone about the dangers unregulated AI poses and folks were like "y'all crazy."

Like AI is not the messiah. It's man made thing that is scaling human behavior, flaws and all. It getting all this hype is weird.

lol I've spoken at/been to a couple conferences and everyone just flatters the hell out of AI but there is never any interrogation
December 4, 2025 at 9:58 PM
lol you'll be in a conversation about trees and somehow AI will enter the conversation. I don't understand lol
December 4, 2025 at 9:51 PM
lol I've been thinking about this for months, how people are hyping up something they barely understand and its weird
December 4, 2025 at 9:51 PM
lol anyway buy my book or don't honestly I wrote it because I think it needed to exist; the money making part is so people don't yell at me lol
December 4, 2025 at 9:48 PM
lol the commodification of existence is wack.

Can we just exist? Damn.
December 4, 2025 at 9:46 PM
I've been struggling with feeling like my life has to be commodified in order for people to hear the message.

And I think refusing that path is sort of an act of resistance.

As a first-time author, you're expected to generate content to generate clicks to generate purchases. And idk y'all, I kinda don't want to drink that koolaid.

I'd rather just meet people where they're at, go into community, and spread the word that way.

It's weird how every social media site, with the exception of #bluesky, is like a digital Time Square right now.

Everyone, everywhere, is trying to sell you something.

lol I was indeed not trippin because the person double backed on the correction in a way that was lowkey shady.

Peeped.
December 3, 2025 at 10:17 PM
lol maybe i'm trippin
December 3, 2025 at 8:58 PM
lol especially if you could have waited to say something or just pulled me to the side or texted... I can't prove it, but it's feels steeped in something more sinister.
