This is simultaneously hilarious and painfully familiar.

#22I reminds me of something I read years ago. Maybe sometime around 1984...
It really does have a very similar feeling.
It takes the structure, the affair with Julia, the "we have always been at war with", best buddy/big brother, and the forced rehabilitation from 1984. This is also part of the joke, the reader is expected to twig.

#24This was very funny! Paradoxically, I have found that working with people in person is the fastest way to enable them on using AI.
It feels very similar to teaching pair programming and TDD. I can do it over remote, but there's a magic spark that happens in person that is really not replicable any other way.

The visual of this is completely hilarious.

It will now be able to.
No, there is soul in this that a soulless automaton cannot replicate. It is the difference between making something to be consumed and something to be felt. This is something to be felt.
If I train my 1000 billion parameter blank AI on this text and only this text over and over again, we may get 99% there.

Current LLMs couldn't write this. Ones in a few years possibly could. Betting AI will never be as good as humans at [X] is usually not the hill you want to die on.

You'll get 100% of the way there, because, lacking any other training, it will only ever be able to reproduce this text verbatim.
Hence, 100%, hence mission accomplished.

If someone could tell me the difference between those last two at this point I'd be grateful and yes the entire thing is bitingly funny.
