This greentext is probably fake, but as someone dealing with memory loss and brain fog, I feel that I need to speak up about the last line.
It's jarring to see people comment on how saying 'forgot two weeks later' makes everything a lie. 'Forget' and 'permanently forget' are two different things. With memory loss, some memories can feel like a book that randomly checks out and checks into the library.
Had a buddy in the early 2000s that had memory loss. Before GPS this dude wouldn’t remember north from south but when his memory clicked he was able to navigate the entire Washington DC area with no problems. It was very interesting.
Yeah that actually sounds about right. Memory loss is often like having a word on the tip of your tongue but the word is an entire decade of your life or your partner’s phone number or anything you know you should know but you just can’t get at.
This is what happens to my 80-year-old dad as he declines mentally. He starts conversations and then it's like he forgets what words to use. It's incredibly frustrating, especially for him. He knows what he wants to say, gets into it, then there's a "file not found" moment that derails him.
I maintain that she actually married the other guy and everyone just plays along with it because otherwise she just talks about how much better he was in the sack.
This is an old greentext from before the "AI boom" so it's almost certainly not written by an AI. It switches from girlfriend to wife because the story is fake.

He clearly didn't forget about it, or else he wouldn't have been able to write the green text
His very premise is faulty!

Who cares if it’s fake, as long as it’s funny

I hate that "written by AI" is the go-to accusation nowadays, and it's mostly made by people who can't tell the difference.
Humans can make up stories too, you know.
rustyfish@lemmy.world · -5 pts · 2y
Pretty sure this has been written by an AI.
A badly programmed one.
Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de · 11 pts · 2y
Girlfriend switched to wife during the story, if that indicates anything
Vlyn@lemmy.zip · 12 pts · 2y
Yeah, it indicates that the story is fake and written by a human. AI would do better, lol.

It took a lot of scrolling, but I seem to have found the funny.
