Yes. So is note taking, summarizing, rewriting emails to have a different tone, research, and just about every other task people are using these hallucinating, earth-destroying word-extruding machines for. It's a recipe for atrophying our ability to do important intellectual and creative tasks.

A: By selling all the data they're acquiring from users.
So maybe rethink using a fucking chatbot as a therapist, moron.

Straight guy here, former theater major. Tough call, but Iād say the Hedwig and the Angry Inch might be my favorite stage play. Of all the ones I acted in, probably The Fantasticks.

Tiny Tim visited a liquor/drug store in suburban Baltimore where I was working in my teens. You could hear the shocked whispers. "Is that Tiny Tim?" I took one look. "Oh, yeah, that's definitely Tiny Tim."
