I know, I just wanted you to be more obvious about the gross thing you said.

Hey, will you explain this to me? I don’t get it.

Love the painterly style on this one.

Duolingo has been systemically firing their workers and replacing them with AI.

Art can serve several purposes. Your tastes are valid as a preference, but fun and escapism are only a small part of what games as an art form can provide. Would you critique a piece of visual art (for example, Guernica) by saying “this isn’t very fun”?

Nah, man

I mean, that’s kind of a joke I guess…?

Okay, I read it years ago and forgot that necessary context, so that one’s my bad. I still take issue with the AI art/media that has been creeping in here lately.

At least they’re not actively stealing ideas from other commenters and passing them off as their own.

Stop posting AI slop, this doesn’t even make sense

Well stated- to your first point, I’d urge folks to take small steps to start replacing those services at least partially with alternatives when they’re available. For example, you may not be able to switch grocery stores entirely but many places have farmer’s markets or services where you can buy from farms wholesale. No matter your food situation, most people can manage to switch operating systems or search engines. Most of us can stand to reduce social media time. Like in your Amazon example, there’s value in aiming to change habits slowly over time instead of all at once.
