   Interesting. However just because this is true right now doesn't mean it will be true going forward. Unique to the current moment is that there are simultaneously (1) high interest rates and a challenging economy (2) a narrative that A

    Its not that theres no benefit at all, it's more like does it give me enough upside compared to something that is easy and free, doesnt require me trusting an app Ive never heard of, taking out my credit card, worrying about getting

    Its not that it has no appeal, its that I expect it to be a tough sell to get people to actually take out their credit card for this when its free and good enough to go to chat.com or gemini. But I may be wrong.

    I think the target user is capable of going to chatgpt and saying "give me tattoo ideas"

    Honest question, as someone who has thought of making an "AI wrapper" app myself - why would I use this rather than go to Gemini/ChatGPT/StableDiffusion/etc and prompting it myself?

    I'm not trying to be snarky but I really don't see why this matters. It's just a convention. We are not robots, not everything has to be 100% precise.

    I'm not Christian but I definitely resonate with what you're saying about failure sometimes being a gift, if you can make use of it. I wish I could be more religious, in a sense, but I just can't get my head around the concep

    Therapy. Wealth and success is one of the most massive crutches there is. It can make it almost impossible to be truly in touch with your insecurities and pain because its simply too easy to hide in your victory. Your toughest challenge now

    > People objectively are doing better than ever despite wealth inequality. By all metrics - poverty, quality of life, homelessness, wealth, purchasing power. If you take this as an axiom, it will always be true ;).

    By far the greatest issue facing humanity today is wealth inequality.

    Your POV is valid here - that's why I tried to say "for many people," because I know not everyone would have the same reaction. I do think that a native speaker would pick up more on these connotations.

    I think that's a valid opinion and it's probably true that it's euphemized too much.

    I dont need to logically disprove theories like this, because I experience myself in a way that you can't argue against. Trying to convince me my experience of myself is an illusion is, in my view, a horrible case of trying to fit real

    The truth is probably somewhere in between "social media/technology is the cause of all problems" and "social media/technology causes absolutely zero problems that wouldn't be caused anyway"
