sorry to be melodramatic, but this excerpt from that chatgpt article honestly makes me want to cry. what a vile, soulless way to engage with a topic like this.

a section of text from an article. it reads, “‘College is just how well I can use ChatGPT at this point,’ a student in Utah recently captioned a video of herself copy-and-pasting a chapter from her Genocide and Mass Atrocities textbook into ChatGPT.

urging you all to look at this little guy that we took home today.

a black, white and tan australian shepherd puppy with a white blaze marking on the right side of his face. he’s looking at the camera and panting softly.

the same puppy as before now resting his chin on his front paw and looking at the camera with a slightly doleful expression.

the same puppy now fast asleep and lying flat on his belly with his left leg sticking out behind him.
