    This reads like Haiku

    It could be a haiku. They don't need to be 5-75 syllables. It's more about an observation or a moment of clarity/realisation. The first two lines set up a concept or image, and the third line closes out the thought, usually with contrast. Just have to structure it properly.

    I’m very—very—upset ai ruined it for me.

    Cunts.

    Turns out AI learned from humans, who learn from the writings they're exposed to

    It's an endless cycle, and we're only in the first revolution

    And one solution would be to just turn off all grammar and spell check and let people’s fat fingers and inability to spell let them stand out as the human. Oh boy.

    LLMs are really good at language, it's their whole thing. If you tell them to make spelling errors, they'll do it just as easily as they can copy the tone and cadence of MLK or Trump speeches

    Also, please no, I'm so bad at spelling

    On the plus side, drunk people would have a MUCH harder time starting arguments..

    So, I’m guessing you don’t meet too many drunk people…
