      Who said I rely on it? I accept suggestions when they are good, even if the source of the suggestions is a slop generator. I accept what it is right about and reject what is wrong. And why not? It costs nothing.

      And, at 52, I write the way I write. I enjoy the process, I enjoy playing with language. I enjoy the juxtaposition of literary flourishes with a crude fuck you thrown in as punctuation and counterpoint to what might otherwise seem inaccessible or deliberately obtuse.

      But do you know what I’ve found? I can be a little overly self-indulgent. For example, you didn’t want all this, you just wanted to throw your glib little “lrn2write” and garner a few upvotes from the vehement AI haters and give yourself a self-righteous pat on the back.

      Sometimes I need another perspective to suggest restraint. As you can see, this, like 98% of my writing, is mine alone, else I’d’ve taken what would undoubtedly be good advice and held back on the more acerbic bits, and made sure I wasn’t posting some knee-jerk defensive self-indulgent 100% man-made slop.

      But here we are.

        It costs nothing.

        Except for an opportunity to practice getting better at the thing you recognize is an issue.

        And, at 52, I write the way I write.

        Although I guess you’ve already given up on the getting better part.

        How do you know if its a good suggestion if you don’t know what you’re doing? Think for yourself, stop trusting slop.

        And, at 52, I write the way I write.

        Apparently not. Now you write the way a slop generator tells you to write.
