MFW I go to write an email and some twatwaffle in corporate has turned on the feature where if you don’t let the robot re-write your email it will cover it in red lines. I’m not talking basic grammar checks here, I’m talking use of language, style etc. For everyone. Across the entire company.

No, I am a fucking functioning adult and I am able to fucking communicate in my own fucking voice, please fuck off.

MFW I have to spend ten minutes hunting for the off switch because I’ve got all of the usual suspects jammed to “fuck right off and keep on fucking off, then keep going until you reach Fuck Of Bluffs, at which point keep fucking off until you fall off the fucking cliff and into Fuck Off Bay, where hopefully you hit some sharp fucking rocks and then just fucking drown.”

Endless small humiliations.

I am so fucking tired.

The whole thing just leaves me feeling deeply, deeply sad. And I don’t understand why I seem to be in the minority.

Oh, great. Now on top of recording all our meetings everyone’s emails are going to be subject to semantic ablation unless a non trivial amount of effort is put in to opt out.

And now you need a time share on a graphics card worth more than many cars in order to write a FUCKING EMAIL.

Today started so well.

And now putting my laptop through the fucking window seems like a pretty rational response.

ENDLESS FUCKING SMALL HUMILIATIONS.

Slow, continuous ablation of authenticity, replaced by the aesthetic of creativity without the core.

Removal of skills like communication that are core to being human.

“Helpful” idiots making endless small decisions that remove power from the rest of us.

Consent? What’s that? Maybe the LLM knows!

Tech bros really are a special kind of asshole.

Apparently it is my destiny to have insane people have power over me.

Can’t communicate for shit? It’s fine! No need to learn! Just feed in whatever inane drivel comes out of smacking your head against your keyboard and the robot will instantly make it sound like you’re not high on ketamine!

This is now mandatory for all company drones. The robot will now rewrite all emails or annoy you with red lines until you let it.

<insert sound of a kobold brain shaking itself apart under the pressure of all the bullshit going on>

@FayeDrake You're right. If it's literally any consolation, you're not alone. It drives me mad watching others eagerly rent the ability to sand off all their interesting edges with a turbine-powered die grinder.
