It's not just the "weird" mental illnesses (ie: Kanye West) that make people uncomfortable. People who "support" mental health awareness only support it in the abstract, and freak out when witnessing real mental illness--yes, even "cute" or acceptable types. Link in replies.

I think the perspectivelessness of genAI stuff is going to get increasingly explicitly noted, the difference between “image a person made” and “description of a prompt” is such a stark thing.

The whole concept of 'do your own research' but also 'don't trust experts' makes zero sense.
That means your research would alternatively consist of listening to...non-experts, and thus being completely worthless and likely dangerous.
