"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I'm a magic-using weirdo and if someone in My coven said this shit, I would tell them to stop using the astral plane to stalk people. In fact, I once was in a situation like this! One of My more benign exes introjected Me and had been having an intimate relationship with the factive based on Me. I requested that they banish/euthanise the factive and expressed a lot of anger and disgust that they had kept this from Me and treated it like a "fun little secret".
Happy to explain the terms at play here to any non-mages who are curious.
I understand the context here, but if you genuinely wish, to have positive discussions with people, you should probably not call them "mundane". People will assume you mean they are boring and dull.
Good advice, thank you. And this is why I hate JK Rowling. We had a perfectly good word for non-magic-users, and then she went and started a crusade to exterminate trans kids and we found out the books were super racist and ableist and bad. And now I'm not comfortable using her word, but I don't have any good words for non-mages, so I'm using these other words that have other side effects I don't intend. I wish I could say "muggle" in good conscience.
I'm a normal person who doesn't think he can use magic because of talking to a chatbot too much
