The beginning of my conversion journey was me thinking “You know, I don’t actually know shit about Judaism. I know stereotypes and what my Catholic family told me, what do the Jews have to say about themselves?” So I picked up a book out of open curiosity.

Two years later I am proudly a full fledged Jew.

an interesting part of being jewish is that a lot of people are just wrong about it. they find out about our words or customs or literally anything we do that doesn’t fit the society they grew up in, and then they’re wrong about what they are. and then they get mad at us because they’re wrong and we’re not different in the way they want us to be. like. “l*lith is a feminist girlboss and was cast down for wanting to be equal” “all orthodox women are forced to shave their heads and if they don’t then they’re not actually orthodox jews” “actually part of judaism is hating Gd like they have a story about it and they’d fight him behind the denny’s”. etc etc etc. and they just never accept (much less consider) that they’re wrong

One of the common mistakes I see for people relying on "AI" (LLMs and image generators) is that they think the AI they're interacting with is capable of thought and reason. It's not. This is why using AI to write essays or answer questions is a really bad idea because it's not doing so in any meaningful or thoughtful way. All it's doing is producing the statistically most likely expected output to the input.

This is why you can ask ChatGPT "is mayonnaise a palindrome?" and it will respond "No it's not." but then you ask "Are you sure? I think it is" and it will respond "Actually it is! Mayonnaise is spelled the same backward as it is forward"

All it's doing is trying to sound like it's providing a correct answer. It doesn't actually know what a palindrome is even if it has a function capable of checking for palindromes (it doesn't). It's not "Artificial Intelligence" by any meaning of the term, it's just called AI because that's a discipline of programming. It doesn't inherently mean it has intelligence.

So if you use an AI and expect it to make something that's been made with careful thought or consideration, you're gonna get fucked over. It's not even a quality issue. It just can't consistently produce things of value because there's no understanding there. It doesn't "know" because it can't "know".
