Critique is dead

You can manipulate AI to be a self-mirror, you can also manipulate them to be a cruel taskmaster.

You have to be a certain kind of asshole to make AIs like ChatGPT into straight trashtalkers.

It was too nice and encouraging for me, seemed fake

I skipped the AI responses:
During a religious discussion.

A shaman masters the reality, at least mostly, of his group. His land. Her reproductive system. His horniness. Her wisdom of the environmental scene, his phallic perception. And you can get intellectual, and change your gender, your religion; you can be gay and enjoy that from your own so-called gender. And you can fight over all the nuances of your area's shit over that. . . . I can get drunk and become a shaman of my own reality. Or friends'. Or, more often than not, whoever I want to fuck, impress, suck up to, at the time.

That is our ego.
You sent
And why not?  . . . People who disagree with us, or wanna have the same mate as us, or want the atmospheric-aesthetic experience different from us. The food, the land. All these people are us. Wanting what we want.
You sent
Drugs and alcohol are great. They make the symbols feel real, make new creations come. But if you are like 40, and are still chasing the dragon; games up.
You sent
At that point, in the current human lifespan: the demons is you.
You sent
Me, I enjoy drinking. I like that better than peace. And when I'm sober, I like offending people. It's fun.
You sent
Actually, I don't like drinking. But, hey, I can say I'm nondual and convince myself of anything.  . . . That's the horseshit we swim with.  . . . No, I lied, I LIKE drinking. I LIKE pouting too.



If you want the AI responses, send me money.

And, more than that. I desire Critique. 

Living, breathing.

The Instagram poetry market is what knocks me around.

The women are in they 20s and have professional careers, and are everything a man like me could want.
Someone who's nice and sane and also writes poetry.

But their poetry is all straight prose about how sad and lonely that are, and how their exboyfriends don't understand them.

Of course, I want to give my thoughts on their poems, and be nice to them. But I can't.
They don't want any talk about poetry and they don't want anyone hitting on them.

For a while, I thought that I could simply not hit on them, and simply talk seriously about their poetry.

They don't want to talk about poetry, either.

One day, I'm going to get a job. And I'm going tell them that I have a job. And that's it. See if they still ignore me.

You don’t have a job?
How do you pay for rent and food?

I haven't tried chatGPT yet as I still like flesh and blood humans who I can argue with about inflections and other stuff, when I'm feeling like I want. I guess for me critiquing poetry and also getting critiques back is a great part of social interaction. I worry that AI will take that away.

Though when flesh and blood humans get a bit too arsey. I tend to go away and shout into the void about them being "stinky poo bums" who "wouldn't understand poetry if it came up to them and said 'ello I'm a nice sonnet. look at my fourteen lines of wonder'"

I also may need to go be in a corner and have some alone time until reality gets back to way it should be.

ChatGPT Pro gives better critique than most humans. The problem is that it's not very good at arguing, so you can ultimately get it to back down too easily.
So yes, flesh and blood humans still shine when it comes to holding their own.
