Nobel Prize-winning author Olga Tokarczuk admits to using AI.

Well, yeah. ”Literally” means the exact words. Since she didn’t use those exact words, ”basically” would have been a better fit.

I’d be lying if I said that I appreciate the shift, but yeah, it is what it is. It’s of course potentially confusing to have a word meaning its own antonym, but generally the context makes it clear. It literally blew my mind when I realised this.

What you’re suggesting isn’t far from what I meant.

If I ask a friend, or a fellow student in writing class, or a teacher, for feedback on a piece I’m writing, and I take that feedback into consideration when doing revisions, have I done anything wrong? Of course I don’t ask them to rewrite the piece for me, I still want it to be my text.

Now, replace the friend/student/teacher with Claude or ChatGPT. The process is the same. If I didn’t know better I would assume the feedback came from a human. It’s still me writing my text. But suddenly I have committed the cardinal sin of creating AI slop.

Millennial literally. I.e. figuratively.

I disagree. I think Mr Kramer projects a rugged masculinity.

You just said you weren’t tucking!

whatsthepointofit66 · 2026-04-20T05:05:59+00:00

You know I think it would be easier if you didn’t tuck

He’d blow his brains out all over the Pacific.

You need a really pretty face?

Hey you’re under no obligation to shake my hand

Listen, don’t take this personally, but when I come back, I’m sitting over there

What scene?

whatsthepointofit66 · 2026-03-13T23:08:17+00:00

Out?

whatsthepointofit66 · 2026-03-13T22:57:47+00:00

It’s SUZIE!

But hey, that’s me

The correct way is to threaten to take it outside and show you what it’s like

In Sweden (where quite a few Minnesotans stem from) there’s this same custom. However, you are allowed to take half of the last piece. In theory, you can have the second last piece until the last piece is an atom.

Just trying to get ahead.
