I am not Anti AI. I am not Pro AI.
My thesis is simple -- Like EVERY technology before it, it will have benefits that will remove friction, and when you remove friction, your skills atrophy.
And we can't let that happen. We have to supplement the skills people will lose.
Dunkin Doughnuts changed its name to Dunkin
Now, imagine some other coffee and doughnuts place comes along and names itself Dunkin Doughnuts, just because
Who should get to claim the Munchkin?

The Writing Room gives you a prompt and lets you see where your own words take you. There is no autocomplete. You can ask for another prompt if the first one does nothing for you. Try it before asking AI what you should write.

These are the villains. Lie to you because they don’t think you are strong enough to deal with the truth
Realists have always been the heroes
Pelicans gonna have all the injury luck this year and still get lapped by terrible teams who have all their guys go down
Utah Jazz star Jaren Jackson Jr. has sustained a torn MCL in his right knee and will be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon. Jackson will not require surgery.
Imagine Seattle gets a new NBA franchise in 2028 and they name themselves the Supersonics
Then, they hold a ceremony in 2038 for one of the greatest members of their franchise, Kevin Durant
Sounds crazy, right? But we accept this reality when it comes to the Charlotte Hornets
NOBODY thinks of George Mikan as part of the Timberwolves organization.
So, why are Mugsy, LJ, Alonzo, etc thought of as part of the current Charlotte organization??!?!
Andre the Giant never wrestled for the WWE, yet is in the WWE Hall Of Fame
This, apparently, would utterly baffle and confuse Charlotte Hornets fans.
The Junk Yard Dog worked for the WWF in the 80's. But that organization became the WWE and the WWF belongs to the World Wildlife Federation now, exclusively.
Whose Hall of Fame should the Junkyard Dog go into? The WWF or the WWE?
I am so proud to see that 90 percent of Pelicans fans are realists. The delusional side of this fan base are all but dead. Victory!
I hate that he is associated with the team now in Charlotte. He, along with LJ, Alonzo, Rice, Mashburn and countless others belong to the franchise now in New Orleans
People have deemed the wrong ship, the Ship of Theseus
I want you to read this sentence. REALLY read it.
Anybody with basic comprehension skills can see that it says nothing. Absolutely nothing. And yet, it will morph into "Herb is on the trade block. OKC going after him."
I long for a time before all of this. Blow up the satellites. Please!
Herb Jones is a potential trade target for OKC following Jalen Williams horrific ankle injury, per @SeanDeveney
I remember when trade rumors were based on reporters diving in and getting intel from FO sources.
Now, a simple video of two men talking is enough to flame the fires.
I long for the good ole days
In Something's Off, you look at a kitchen and then try to spot the tiny thing that changed. Five rounds, about a minute. If your day has involved having AI tell you what to notice, here is a small chance to do the noticing yourself.

Imagine if the Atlanta G League team was in the Finals. Should the Hawks have to move a game for them?
And before you say “that’s not the same”, you are right. A G League team would beat a WNBA finals team by a hundred
And the only other win, was the Pacers beating the winless Nets.
So, to summarize, not only are the Pelicans 0-3 but their losses came to teams playing poorly, who can only beat winless teams.
The three teams that the Pelicans lost to this season are 1-7 in their other games that did not include New Orleans, with a -12.1 differential
If you REALLY care about these guys, you’d want them all to get away from New Orleans
Look at how much their lives improve once they get away from this franchise. They get paid, they get respect, they get titles.
If you care, let them fly away
