Back in OG red/blue, move types were dumb. Most attacks were "normal" type. Psychic Pokemon were only weak to bug and ghost, but no ghost-type move used weakness/resistance, they were arbitrarily immune to Lick, Dream Eater was Psychic, and all the ghost types were Ghost/Poison, along with most of the bug types, who rarely had a bug-type move anyways.
I'm sure FireRed has fixed a lot of this; even Pokemon Yellow added Mankeys to the early game, with fighting type moves that could damage Rock types. So you can pick whatever starter you want and still breeze through gym battles.

The models can't meaningfully evaluate the balance of a simple custom Magic, the Gathering card.

To use just one example, if an open source AI ever gets smart enough to help someone who wouldn't otherwise be able to do it, to biohack together a new deadly virus in their garage
"Hey, the virus you made for me that you said would have a 100% kill rate didn't do anything! You said the whole concept was chef's kiss!"
You're right to push back on that.

Same, I couldn't get over the sportsball player wanting to rent a rock because he broke some glass.

I wish I had walked out of Terminator Genysys.
I had to leave Hunger Games part 3 early because the girl I was with flew into a rage because someone thinner than her shushed her.
You're not trotting out the really good October 7th apologia.
Hamas didn't even know about the music festival, which had its hours extended last minute, no raping happened because Palestinian men aren't that sexually confident, all those people at the festival were combatants anyways so it was a valid military target, and the israelis killed more of their own citizens than Hamas did.
Sorry, bad Gaza takes are a guilty pleasure of mine.

There's a comedy formula from the Ricky Gervais show: two guys and an idiot. The idiot says things, one guy rips into him, and the other guy pulls the first guy back a bit to add nuance or let the idiot dig the hole deeper. I've seen this done with Let's Plays, where the (ideally janky or bad) video game serves as the idiot.
Since an AI will reliably make facile, wishy-washy statements, it makes for a good idiot. It'll also repeat the Party Line of whatever's currently PC.

The two shopkeepers know they work in a spooky cursed curio shop and are doing a bit, let them have their fun.

Eh, I was being a all high-handed writer-y about who should write or not write. In my defense, I really do see AI use as corrosive and distortive to creative writing, and I say this from personal experience. I got way too much of a high from having my ideas glazed.
Sorry, I suppose everyone has to reach the point of disillusionment with LLMs on their own terms. I'm being unnecessarily vociferous about it and making assumptions, my apologies.

The bulk writing IS the writing. If you don't/can't enjoy the act of writing, you shouldn't be writing. I'm serious.
What you're going to get is an abomination that the AI will tell you is a masterpiece and should be shopped around to major publishers and will totally get optioned for a film adaptation, because every line is Chef's Kiss.
The only "legit" use of AI for writing fiction is personal (and ephemeral) use, so basically jerk-off material that will never be seen by any human other than you.

What you're trying to do is bad and you shouldn't do it. Accept that you must either get better at writing, write at your current level of skill, or not write, not everyone is meant to be a writer and that's okay.
I've tried using an LLM as an editor for writing fiction and RPG adventures. It's bad at it.

The film is a much better film than the book is a book, I agree that the prose is a bit Smug 2012 Redditor.

It's full of good fantasy/sci-fi ideas and even though it's a bit ra-ra-workers-of-the-world-unite, it's well-presented/justified. You can skip everything else by that (obnoxious commie) author, but PSS is worth having read.
What I try to do these days when judging the worldview or ideology of a story is, rather than evaluating it on how much I agree with that ideology or not, I evaluate on how good a case the story makes for its ideology in the context of its own world.

I liked the Vitiligo forming the domino mark on her face, and I'm just not attached to the canonical race of marvel E-listers. I'll save my ire for Black Aragorn.

Uh, Domino was well-cast, that actress has good physical presence and doesn't, to my knowledge, race-bait.

I wouldn't really call this one crazy, I'd call her a self-centered jerk. Aside from the wokeness, a lot of what annoyed me was, well, the sorts of behaviors that Redpill content is always talking about and usually falls flat for me because I never normally encounter it.
"Waaaait a minute...am I being shit-tested? That's a real thing? I thought it was invented by internet misogynists."
She probably thought she was playing a cutesy game, or Negging me.

This is anecdata, but the other night, I asked a woman at a bar about what book she was reading. [She was black, and a sociologist]. This escalated into making out and some light groping and her dragging me to her doorstep. I left her at her doorstep, because:
- At one point, she repeatedly said White Supremacy, like three times over the course of five sentences. Like she was baiting me to engage with it (I didn't).
- She accused me of "sounding/dressing conservative", apparently my wisconsin accent and open denim shirt were some sort of red flag. Still kept cuddling up to me, though.
- A long rant about how 17-year-olds get catcalled, and that proves all men are pedos. Attempts to redirect the conversation failed repeatedly.
- "Why haven't you kissed me yet?" [I kiss her] "Hey, you didn't ask if you could kiss me before kissing me! [she keeps kissing me]
Which is why I left her at her doorstep, the last one in particular, for obvious reasons, I don't find that game very cute. 3rd party observers said she really just wanted to bang a white guy. She went about it in very much the wrong way.
Miss sociologist got left at her door by a guy because she still seems to think peak woke is in this season. If woke is over, no one around me has gotten the memo.

I'd be open to it meaning an Online, but Basic woman. The sort who sneers and snarls when seeing a Tesla, says things along the lines of Men Are all Such Trash, Amirite?, gets pissy about age gaps and calls the men in such Pedos, and is generally a walking collection of stereotypes.
I get them every single time I use one for anything subjective or creative. I suspect LLMs are a dead end. The comprehension of prose is terrible, their ideas are terrible and wishy-washy, and the naked glazing disgusts me.
I suppose that biological neural networks were ultimately evolved in the same way; throwing them at a task (survival) over and over and over until they accomplished it, then iterating. It's why our brains arent truth-seeking machines, but survival machines, and even our sensory perceptions are a cobbled together mess of imaginary qualia and we see Shadow-Men and optical illusions.
Instead, these things are trained on convincing a human that the output pleases them; any accuracy or usefulness is ultimately incidental.

All I can say is that I understand the appeal. I don't find it sexually arousing, but it's cute. Like bare feet or puffy groggy makeup-less morning face, or the smell of fresh feminine sweat.
I really want to ignore all the defenders as idiots amplified by Tik-Tok. But the astrology stuff brings out my inner fedora.
