Is it just me, but the language gap between me and the AI believers is becoming insumountable. I use AI every day. I have a local server not ten feet from me as i type this, but i struggle to comprehend the gibberish that comes from those only slightly deeper in the rabbit hole than myself. Is this what 24/7 AI thinking does to people? >> I am here to light up the dark path you are unknowingly walking, like lamplighters who used to light street lamps for those brave enough to walk the night alone. >> It all fell apart quickly, turning into smoke and mirrors. You see, I committed the cardinal sin of idolatry. For that, I am an idiot too. With OpenAI, at least I knew the devil Is this a critique of the state of AI or Tolkien fanfic?

The last notable event in American history when the meaning of words lost any semblance to reality was just before the Civil War. We are living in a post words world where words have no meaning.

  What happened to words in the American Civil War?

    The intersection of a war, a reliable mail service, and generational literacy promoted by protestant faiths. Every tom dick and harry started writing letters.

I don't think the writing style has anything to do with AI, it's just a writer without an editor.

I actually liked that statement about the sin of idolatry. I resonated and it described something I've been guilty of and learning to break, its embedded deem in the culture. We do idolize and heroize groups and people, think Elon Musk and his cult following in the early days of Tesla. I think it's great to name that even if it's in this crude, sort of offensive way. AI thinking has had this weird effect on me though like you say, where I want to write sentences with more commas in them, and like, try to make 3 points and 3 separate commas in a sentence to condense information better.
