It's absolutely asinine we can't even use a fucking file browser without being force-fed AI bullshit. Who asked for this? AI has literally made everything worse and less intuitive.

If you think Disney has "killed Star Wars" and hate basically everything they've done, maybe it's time to come to terms with the fact that you aren't a "Star Wars fan" you just happen to like a few movies in a greater franchise. Exit the fandom with decorum and let other people enjoy things.

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.
I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.
Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."
