"whatever it is that makes me me...gone in the instant I use a [AI] tool like that" ALL OF THIS. All of it. Rodney mentions how the algorithmically generated suggested replies can often be worded in your voice, and I want to speak a bit on how insidious that is in particular...

Ray Bradbury knew everything there was to ever know about spinning a yarn. Mr Electrico told him to live forever and while his physical form may be gone he continues to live up to that instruction.

Any opportunity to re-post "When the Glove"

Web cartoon of the cartoonist waking up at 5 am, still half-asleep, saying "Just had such a good idea, gotta write it down", and is writing it on a piece of paper.

THE NEXT MORNING

The paper says "When the glove"

The cartoonist stares at the paper.

Matt Bernstein beautifully and succinctly articulates simple truths that I can't relate without like, three times the frustrated profanity: - "AI is inevitable" comes from the mouths of those who stand to profit most - Creatives who collaborate will not be spared www.youtube.com/shorts/0ZJ0J...

Which leads us to page two. This shit’s crazy! The image of Alice Obiefune maps cleanly onto the image of the tree in the upper sector of page one, aided by the rain going in the same direction. The line of computers in panel two mimics the gravestones from page one...

There are four elements to the cartoon. The girls The wife The case The husband. If you divide the picture into four, each element ends up in its own quadrant. Whichever way you do it. It's a pretty good cartoon.
