As cool it might get to badmouth the new generation and how everything is getting south, I have found more and more attempts to get back to a more convivial and humane approach to medias, especially of the literacy kind, with Reviews and Journals for niche audiences of peculiar aesthetic and intellectual values.

Granted, we've seen similar fashion in the past with blog, and then with the mailing list revival, which both quickly get preempted - commodified even - by the marketing squads that devitalize every new media by their unending eager to devour their techs and cloaca'd them into ad platform trend.

But it's my earnest feeling that the AI-ssistant behemoth, still quite roboto in its fake expertise and sanitized answers, could be easily defeated by the willingness for poetry and the new form language and our creativity would take to circumvent it.

We easily get sidetracked by boredom, but humans are creature hooked on authenticity.

I find this to be a result of "at scale" we've been adding to everything software related.

We need localized media that don't scale. Then it cannot be hijacked by cv/income/profit maximizing types.

Apologies if this is actually a human-written post - I understand not everyone's first language is English.

But, is this a markov chain generated response? It has a glimmer of actual content, but the wording / point / theme is completely lost on my reading.

If this was generated by an AI chat bot, then I must have a much better AI chat bot at my disposal (ChatGPT).
