Argh. It’s so strange to be ridiculed and have your ideas devalued just because you know how to use punctuation marks. I have 20 year old blog posts with hundreds of comments accusing me of using AI. I understand people being suspicious, but it’s beyond annoying when it becomes an entire personality online, as it has for many persons.
How about we go back to valuing ideas, regardless of their origins, if they deliver insight, value, or joy? I don’t care if someone writes something good or if the idea was stolen from something they read, or if a machine made it for them, unless the value proposition is their personal capacity for original prose.
AI gotchaism is becoming as least as tiring as the droll, tone deaf creations of LLMs.
I hope you are not writing this in reference to my question, because this does not in any way capture the feelings or thoughts I had while asking. Just some mild curiosity living in a strange new world.
In case this is not obvious: I am aware that you could just not answer honestly. If I thought this was a critical issue and that you were likely to be dishonest about it, I would not have asked to begin with.
I think I read things into your comment you did not intend, and for that I apologize. I confess I have been pretty sensitized from the barrage of accusations I recieve—mostly from em dashes and using “ai words” whatever that means lol. It wouldn’t be so bad if AI wrote better prose, but I really hope that my own writing doesn’t come off with that singularly droll countenance that AI tends to present.
No, it's quite real and has been reported on in the press. It's straightforward to get prescribed hormones for even the flimsiest of reasons [0]:
> This patient expressed no gender dysphoria, but he got hormones, too. I asked the doctor what protocol he was following, but I never got a straight answer.
