I will cast abominable filth upon you, make you vile, and make you a spectacle.

Creative solidarity means:

If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover"
If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references"
If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc.

Never help AI steal another medium

No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

wish I could meet the genius who came up with stuffing

coming from a country with the dryest holiday dishes known to man, all the thanksgiving food in my feed has me drooling

my favorite thing in life is deleting all evidence of meetings and emails after I'm done with my meetings and emails

whooopie!!

not me googling verbifying nouns for the purpose of one hyperspecific expression

will I see you at linkin tonight? 👀

(disclaimer: read one chapter, sighed, repressed all memories of the experience)

YOU — "Kim, be honest with me. Am I 'chopped'? Am I 'Unc'?"

KIM KITSURAGI — "I don't think this is relevant to the investigation."

It's like the motherhood equivalent of a girl's girl: will have your back & brings people together!!

Beyond anything to do with training, ability, style etc is the amount of time screenwriters get to invest in a script.
