luciole (he/him)

I make one every morning! Peanut butter gotta be pure, only ingredient being peanuts. Bread gotta be whole wheat, for reasons. The jam matters most to me. I always use a particular local strawberry and rhubarb jam (Pied-Mont Dora). It’s not too sweet, not too much pectin and the rhubarb’s subtle tart gives it a pleasant zing.

Good on you for owning up and best of luck. You did well being transparent about your process. I’m going to add two things about generative AI:

• Writing is thinking. If you’re interested in thinking, then be all means do it yourself. You don’t need to have perfect grammar, syntax and such. Lots of extraordinary authors don’t. Strive for improvement, don’t worry about perfection.
• Absolutely beware of generative AI’s biases. They may actually amplify their sources’ biases while occluding them. AI text is just rehashed human text, with all that it entails.

I’m not going to read in detail a text you can’t be assed to write in detail. From a glean I’ll say two things:

• Your alternative voices are basically all privileged white guys commenting carefully from the sidelines. How is that a counterbalance to Chinese activists literally disappearing? You know what it means to disappear in China, right?
• The common thread of your text is one massive, obvious false dilemma. It’s common knowledge that China is under a repressive regime, that the POTUS gives clear signals of envying such regimes, AND that democracy has issues. We can and do talk about all of them.
