@MakerWerks It's a bit funny in a weird "What were they thinking" kinda way. I can't speak for your case but I do get the idea of real programming not being very interesting or visually stimulating for an audience. But on the other hand, they've got to know that our computers don't look like a clip of "The Matrix" playing on loop with someone typing furiously on the keyboard with beeps and boops every second. I can't even type that fast without messing up...
How nerdy is it that whenever they show a computer screen on TV or in movies, I wonder what operating system they're using? Like yeah there's a good chunk that's obviously just windows or macOS, but then there's the instances that just makes me go "what the heck is this? Why is that circle there? Why does everything make a noise?" Bechase it happens more than you think.
@TwistedWhim not at all. They're using AI to replace the creatives, artists, writers, etc. Taking work from them when there are genuine applications for AI that could make lives easier instead of producing soulless "art" or filling ebook shops with "works" that haven't been touched by human hands until some poor schmuck pays real money for it.
@Animeraider is there a word for when you're not shocked but still relieved at the same time?
@SentinelOfTruth If you watch youtube from a media device like a firestick or an Xbox, they've replaced the "skip ads" button with the "skip this ad" button that immediately puts on the next ad.
@RavenCutrereULC I don't know what's worse: the sheer unmitigated longing I feel for this burger, or the heart attack that comes with actually eating this burger.
@Bix I'm surprised the adverts here don't reflect his forum postings instead of the daycare fraud thing ( which is also pretty bad )
@NorthernInvader @REDonaldAuthor true. My autistic hyperfixation on linguistics is just that. My respect to you.
@REDonaldAuthor @NorthernInvader linguistic prescriptivism is a different form of political conservatism, and in the end judging someone for using neologisms will always happen.
