Woke up in the middle of the night with the realization that the reason people like AI so much is because they're addicted to instant gratification, and don't have any patience to wait on real creators since they're all spoilt entitled brats.
They can't wait a few hours for a human rp partner to reply so they use an AI Chat bot.
They can't comment what they liked about a fanfic and wait a few days for a author to write the next part so they use a AI generator.
They won't let real artist put in the time required to create something breathtaking and talented so they use a AI generator.
They can't wait a few years for a trully good show or movie to be produced or paid for properly so they go to AI.
All for what? Because they can't wait. Because they have no patience. Because they're greedy and ungrateful. And you want to know what will happen then? AI will stop working. Real creators will get stick of being called obsolete and suddenly the water to power the mill will stop flowing. AI can't make anything new if it isn't being fed. All this art and music and writing that your giving it will run out, and AI will start repeating stuff.
All your AI Bots will sound the same.
All your fics will read the same.
All your art will look the same.
And all your shows and movies will play the same old blockbuster plots until it's bled dry.
You will destroy it yourself and all we have to do is wait. And you know what? It will work. It will eat itself alive. And I will point and laugh because unlike you I AM patient. I can wait. Instant gratification isn't important to me because in the long run, it means shit. The satisfaction of seeing you all burn fandoms alive with your greed - the same greed the WGA and SAG is striking against - will bring me more satisfaction than what any AI can 'remake'.
physics professors are really going through it- every day, I think about my quantum physics professor who once went on a rant about how there's too many types of mustard these days followed by the words "well, at least quantum physics is less complicated than the mustard aisle" followed by one of the most cursed derivations I have ever seen
I want to study in Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, at least in the Sorbonne or some kind of college where classes are great, the infrastructure is beautiful and practical, with outdoor spaces with lots of grass to sit (for picnics with other students, or to read by yourself) and just relax. I want to be taught by Professors Researchers, and I wanna be able to take every book that i need to read from the university's library. I want cafeterias with a few normal options for lunch at a cheap price, and coffee from the uni café or from those shitty coffee vending machines.
i’ve been fairly busy recently, since i’ve made my return to my school sports teams, and spent a little time at work. It’s been very busy and stressful, but when I get back into the swing of things I’ll start to get used to it. I reread if we were villains by ml rio, and did an entry or two in my diary. So far, in the past week, I’ve also been:
➼ writing an article for my school’s yearly newsletter 📚
➼ applying to a project about female voices in our curriculum 🪷
➼ finishing reading in memoriam by alice winn (fantastic book and I recommend) ☕️

i love to wait for the hype for a movie / show / book to die down before consuming it myself. like this super popular restaurant has finally emptied and i am the only one dining here and i feel like the whole place belongs to me and me only. kind of like that
