After reading through these, I have to say, none of these are stellar examples of writing from the human authors (good, or above average for sure). However I can tell that there's a personal touch there.

However, the AI generated stuff easily starts falling into purple prose, and other bad literary patterns that show up commonly. There's also something missing, disconnected, and off. Everything is there for the story, yet it's organization, telling of events, and reaching for odd details triggers that uncanney valley response of "something isn't right here".

I'd do the same thing to a plane preacher as I do to street preachers (which are quite common at large events in my city).

Get up in their face, throw some devil horns, and start shouting, " Haiiiiiiiiil Satan! Come on my brethren, haaaaaaaail Satan!"

If they continue, I repeat. Every fucking time some other randos start shouting hail Satan too and the preacher eventually moves on.

Gonna trap me with your insane shit? Well, by all means then, you get to deal with my bottled up insane shit.

The "weird" thing was something that came up because of Walz genuine reaction about some fuckwit being weird.

And it was fucking working.

Then the Republicans got all whiney and saying the Democrats were being mean mud slingers for calling them weird when they were acting weird. And the campaign team decided that they were going to ease off one of the few levers that was actually working and exposing the lies and propaganda for what it was.

That said, your point on leveraging Harris's strengths and past would have been great too.

Is that supposed to be a problem?

I'd rather make diverse friends than make a friend with somebody that openly supports Trump and his ilk.

Is it weird that I, a cis & straight presenting, white man, make friends with people outside my demographics? I mean, I do make friends within my demographics, but they are absolutely not Trump supporters.

People still have houses and mortgages after the mortgage bubble burst in 2007.

The internet, ecommerce, and .com's still exist after the dot com bubble burst in the early 2000s.

A bubble bursting doesn't mean that thing dies and goes away. It means that the hype for it goes away and the market normalizes/corrects suddenly.

There's a VC run and an attempt to force AI usage into things where it doesn't belong, or serves no purposes, or completely alienates the user base. There is going to be a correction for sure, and its not going to be pretty.

I find it hilarious I got that tag.

Haven't been conservative a single day of my life, find capitalism detestable, have been a union stumper since childhood, as well as am an active member of Tech Workers Unite. Additionally I have thought Trump was a disgusting piece of shit when he had his reality TV show and got his jollies off by publicly shaming people by yelling them "You're Fired” and starting the whole "birther" movement.

I guess MAGA is known for calling out not being inclusive, challenging doomer defeatism, promoting unions, saying fuck capitalism, and manyvother obvuously not right-wing behaviors or something now.

That podcasters aren't real creators.

It's some highschool level bullshit.

It's akin to me saying that sports game devs aren't real game developers because they don't create games that I enjoy consuming (yes, I'm a game dev).

Creators are creators.

They put time and energy into their thing, and some gate keeping bs like this tries to invalidate their creations.

Huh. I hadn't realized that they stopped making the TSI.

I loved my '09 TDI & '12 GTI. Sadly traded in my golf for something that was more capable in the remote trails and forest roads as I frequently go camping in the mountains and the Golf was holding me back from that. My wife recently picked up a used TSI, and that's been fun to drive, but not nearly as fun as the GTIm

Lain! Been forever since I've watched that anime.
