yesss i love dunking on “doomers” i hate those mfs so much

just threw up in my mouth at the idea of encouraging someone to use an LLM to write a literature review

it’s crazy how the labor element of AI is one of the most disturbing and upsetting parts of it for me personally and also “coincidentally” the part that most casual AI users don’t really give a fuck about when I try to explain it to them. God took human empathy with him when he left us btw.

i’m going to switch from audiobook to physical bc this narration is not for me :/

imagine if if we were villains randomly had chapters from the POV of the theater professor.

“On the way back, I don’t notice anything underfoot, anything overhead. Possibly there was a light coming greenly through the leaves. Impossible to be sure.”

the people and entities responsible for this book need to be imprisoned. for life btw

i feel so fucking browbeaten . this book wants to defeat me

third instance of “No, not [X].” in this book michelle tang you are on such thin fucking ice

the idea that you could kill a cockroach with a rolled up newspaper…….. get real.

the concept of the house having rules that are impossible to follow, and when you break them your life incurs instant negative karma unless you do more impossible side quests IS GOOD…….. but it’s so poorly executed

it truly does feel like this book is the product of the author taking his first ever beginner creative writing course at the local community college. no tea no shade no pink lemonade directed at the beautiful institution of community colleges, of course.

ANOTHER 2026 RELEASE THAT'S DOING THE "NO, NOT [X]. BUT [Y]." THING OOOOOOOHHH YOU DO NOT WANT TO PISS ME OFF RIGHT NOW!

you can't publish a book in a post GenAI world and expect me not to raise an eyebrow at your credibility if you include sentences that do that "It was [X]. No, not [X]. It was [Y]." like....... if you're gonna be a shitty writer at least make it sound human for the love of god.

it’s fascinating how boring and bad this is

“As if they were worried about the consequences should any rules be broken. No, not worried. As if they were /afraid/.” all the writing is like this btw. they’ll publish any sentence these days.

information theory makes for easier reading than this. grad school truly does make a person fucking stupid

can we institute a new rule of style that your book is not allowed to have a scary house on the cover unless your book is about a HAUNTED HOUSE..??

she probably killed the guy right

actually, i think there’s just one POV that doesn’t get [POV, date] headings at all and honestly….. i think that’s a bad choice :(

something weird is going on with the perspective/timeline switches in this book, at least the audiobook, where the narrative will change without a chapter break and [POV, date] heading for a long time. i don’t really understand what that’s about.

the writing has somehow devolved since his first book

every twenty pages feel like doing burpees for an hour straight

“I was acting as if Adelaida and Julia would return at any moment…” girl you are Adelaida. pretty sure she meant to write “Aurora”. cmon people
