New Fall of Skywalker episode on the shoot for Star Wars episode 9 features the familiar voice of an annoying, bitchy gay robot... No, it's not C3P0, it's me, voicing Anthony Daniels who is very mean to Richard Marquand and much nicer to JJ Abrams than I personally would ever be.

If you'd told me a week ago that I'd be recommending The Sheep Detectives over The Devil Wears Prada 2 I would have said: "that makes sense, honestly, the sheep ARE the detectives after all..."

It's so funny to me that I abuse the absolute fuck out of the m-dash in my writing but no one would ever mistake my work for being ChatGPT. The AI simply lacks the vision to use both the word "verisimilitudinous" and the phrase "this shit honks like a clown car in a traffic jam" in the same piece.

There’s a great exchange in The Grapes Of Wrath where a farmer who’s been kicked off his land by a bank meets the guy getting paid peanuts to take it over. The guy is mewling like “well somebody was gonna do it if I didn’t!” and Steinbeck has such a beautiful, visceral, disdain for the character
“That’s all you can do, is learn and adapt,” said freelance writer Kiesha Richardson. “And I have some colleagues who are adamant about not working with AI. But I’m like, ‘I need money. I’m taking it.’”
