Look, I love AI as much as a straight man can love an era-defining technology. But I love something more than AI: writing. I do enjoy typing my blog posts character by character like a caveman. Which may or may not result in better quality posts. I don't know. Depends on the reader, I guess. All this to say the posts below are my original writing and not AI slop.
