Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. AI sucked it all up without discernment, because AI cannot discern.
  2. So of course AI has adopted it; pattern-recognition/replication is what machines do best.
  3. That's what I mean when I say that if you skip the struggle, you miss the growth. Sometimes the struggle is all that really matters.
