Unpopular opinion but if you don't enjoy the process you should find a different thing to do.

And I think this is true in general but now I'm talking about it in the context of AI.

If you don't enjoy making art and only care about the end piece and how it'll look and how much traction it"lol get online then making art is not something for you, find something you enjoy from start to finish.

Same goes for writing: if you do not enjoy writing and rewriting and then some more and instead want AI to write for you, being a writer is not something you should pursue.

Sure, not every part of creative process is going to be equally enjoyable but you should get satisfaction from solving the problems along the way and you should get a sense of accomplishment on your way of "making the piece yours" and you should have a sense of ownership once you are done.

None of these things will come from typing in a prompt into chatGPT. And I am sad to see so many people are missing on the opportunity to experience the joy of making something with their own hands and brains.

All foreign films/shows should have two subtitle options. A localized one that better serves the original intent of the story and dialogue and a more literal one that awkwardly translates phrases in a preserved state, specifically for perverts who want to learn the language (me)

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

Also like I am definitely a boring adult because my reward to myself for going shoe-shopping was to buy myself a new spatula

I did a very adult thing today and I'm very proud of myself! For the first time in my life I actually went to a store (dragging my ass to the mall when I didn't want to go = bonus points) and exchanged an item because I decided it was actually too big! And I did it all in Japanese! Go me!

Decided to look up N1 kanji for funsies and there are so many where I'm like, how the hell is this N1 I see this kanji all the time??

And then I realise I see them all the time because they're in like, place names and stuff, and they're not actually that common otherwise

My (UK) friend's getting married in August next year and I am super definitely planning to go, especially because it's the week after Obon, and with my paid vacation days I should be able to get a whole 2+ weeks off! Plenty of time to get over the jetlag and pay a bunch of people a visit (and also get away from the suffocating Japanese summer)

But also... I'm thinking... maaaayyyyybe a cheeky trip to Finland en route 👀 It's been at the top of my bucket list for god knows how long and I don't really get the opportunity to get out of Japan that often (and when I do I have to waste it going to the UK). I can get a direct flight and the time difference would be 6 hours rather than 8 sooo maybe it'll be a little easier with the jetlag? (Probably not but I can pretend)

by the age of 23 you should be able to read cyrillic and know the basics of at least 3 foreign languages

The problem: my cold feels even worse today and I feel like absolute shit

The solution: take cold medicine

The problem: I have no food in the house to take it with and taking it on an empty stomach will make me feel sick / possibly throw up

Solution: go to the shop to buy food

The dilemma: I feel like shit and do not want to leave the house or spread my nasty germs anywhere

Temporarily turning off anons because if I get ONE more spam anon asking for donations I'm going to set something on fire

I often give the kids fist bumps and I thought they were calling it "クールタッチ" (cool touch) but turns out it's グータッチ (which I'm guessing is グー [guu] as in rock from rock-scissors-paper. So it's actually "rock touch" which makes a lot of sense ig)

I finally got an email about my ADHD/Autism assessment almost 3 years after my referral! Which is great! Except I don't live in the UK anymore!

Zero Pressure To Do 01/05

I don't wanna force myself to do anything because 1. I have a cold and I'm not being brave about it at all and 2. It's the first day of Golden Week and I deserve to chill the fuck out. But! If I find myself bored/not knowing what to do with myself:

Wash up what's in the sink

Go to 100¥ store for a new laundry net

Clear the table

Vacuum

Ask N for feedback regarding dress

Play Pokemon

Go for a walk

Work out (if I'm not toooo full of cold) (I am absolutely too full of cold)

Do some colouring

Draw necessary PCs for 6-7s classes

Actually respond to the music recs in my ask box that I literally asked for

Do the tag games I've been tagged in

Lil Japanese study

Draw something (another birb maybe)

Some truths about the publishing industry because I certainly got blindsided when going in. Now I'm so broken by this industry I struggle to encourage aspiring writers lmao
