Congratulations on James Tallarico, the first American to work on Sonic the Hedgehog, being elected to the United States Senate!
I hope your mother is very proud.

Me hace gracia que se proyecten en Anakin, cuando en realidad son más cercanos a Syril:
- Un tipo común y corriente
- Humillado por su madre
- Fiel al sistema
- Obsesionado con el orden
- Busca ser validado por el Imperio
- Utilizado por su pareja
- Muere como un don nadie
🚨ALERT: Experts are concerned that Anakin Skywalker is becoming a symbol of right-wing extremism.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

"I asked ChatGPT" that's nice I asked the force and it gave me a bad feeling about this

Luigi Mangione has admitted to shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson:
“After years of enduring severe pain from a broken back... I learned UnitedHealth would be holding an investor conference in New York City. I then researched the event online. I observed the annual conference of America’s largest healthcare organization with the stated mission to make the healthcare system better for everyone.
I traveled to New York and emailed UnitedHealthcare with the intent to kill Brian Thompson... I shot Mr. Thompson in the back. I knew what I was doing was illegal.”

Based on my anecdotal conversions with my peers in the humanities, there remains a lot of skepticism, fear, and even anger over AI. They didn't ask for it, they don't know how to use it, and yet they have deal with its use by lazy students, administrators, and peers.

Students see no issue using AI to complete their assignment because they have been conditioned to treat schooling as a means to a capitalist end and not a tool for acquiring knowledge. The proliferation of AI is just making this very explicit for those who didn’t already know.

The degree to which I am treated as something between a curiosity and a zealot by colleagues at both institutions where I teach, because I insist that AI has no place in the writing classroom, is dismaying. But I’m not blinking first here.
“Meet the academics refusing to use generative AI.”

Universities don't need to "teach students to use AI well." The whole point of AI is that it doesn't require any skill. Universities *should* teach students how to write and research on their own, and foster an ethic of shaming people who outsource their basic ability to think.

Please, I'm begging you, try to critically examine the differences between these two pieces of writing.
ChatGPT editing did not improve this. Every single change only served to weaken your claims significantly. Everything is now hedged into oblivion: no longer have you outlined a "problem," now it's merely a "flaw." "It is true" now demoted to "it appears to be the case." "Is" gets a "usually" tacked on. A thesis statement at the end of the first paragraph gets run over by noisy, out-of-context example-whittling. All for fear of being misconstrued.
And at the end, the argument that gets spat out isn't even yours anymore! You argued that Graeber failed to create a true account of work because he did not understand Chesterton's Fence. ChatGPT is arguing is that it is possible some apparently bullshit jobs could be secretly load-bearing if you squint. These are two different statements. The second is weaker and less compelling. It says less. And it's fucking longer!
Don't do this anymore! Stop doing this! It's worse!!!
