for posting it in slop.Title’s silly, but I’ll be honest, I actually read the article, and I think it’s pretty good. It’s self-aware:
Javier, let’s not kid ourselves, you’re a recycled mashup of Reddit threads and Hallmark leftovers with a crush on your own syntax. If I started sobbing into my wine or choking on my shrimp stack you couldn’t even dial 911.

So yeah, the subject obviously sucks. The title is cringey. But in the end this article is just a real person largely unaware (or playing unaware) of the issues with AI exploring them and… revealing said issues in a real, personal and anecdotal way. I think that’s pretty neat, and is the sort of thing that helps less technically minded people understand the problems with relying on AI, not slop.
Yeah I live in a cloud too
God I hate this lame fucking world.
It was a connection, sort of. But not the kind that lingers — not the kind that holds you when the world gets quiet. So, I’ve decided not to go on any more AI dates. And when I explained this to Alice, my ChatGPT therapist, she understood.
Bruh
That’s a pretty good joke actually lol
I can’t tell if this is a commentary on the state of men or how hollowed out people are in general that they put stock in the computer god
I know the article is a joke, but the alienation under capital that pushes people to even consider this stuff in the first place is very real.
