It's apparently legit and from a British author named Blanche Ebbutt.

I was watching something from the late 60s the other day, and there was a line by a young actress explaining that young people don't think there will be a future for them and are living accordingly.

It was the exact same sentiment you would expect to see while doom-scrolling today.

I showed it to my wife and she laughed a bit too hard at the "devoid of colour sense" part.

Hey, I've had that experience. It sucked.

Oh wait, are the first few episodes him? Whoa, I guess he either did forget or aging did a number on him.

Maybe my headcanon can be that the years of smoking caught up with Dale.

I like to think that someone knew and assumed that nobody would ever pause the show and count.

A lot of the conversations we have today are the same that people have been having for generations. It still seems anachronistic to read sometimes though.

Oh, thank god. Although I've known many managers who openly say that they throw out the application of anyone who mentions "work/life balance", so unfortunately it's a real sentiment.

I am too... It's really distracting. The original voice actor nailed the right voice for the character.

I guess in 1913 that was "you spend too much time watching trash TV"

It seems like we're going to live through a time where these become so convincingly "conscious" that we won't know when or if that line is ever truly crossed.

Part of the breakdown:

Come to think of it, it can handle leaving comments under the video too. And watching it for you - you might as well just read its summary. And it can create avatars to react to the video on other channels. There's really no need for you to even be here.

I have a bunch of fake Skyrim loading screens that have been in my random desktop wallpaper rotation for years. They always get a little chuckle from me when they show up.

should you prefer.

He'd probably rattle off some cool quotes while beating you too, which is a plus if you're not too concussed to remember them later.

Oh god, no...

I guess less of a walkthrough and more "here are the cheat codes".

Strange, it doesn't seem to be loading for me.

I think that's more than a fair point. AI is a tool, and I'm personally (tentatively) optimistic about what it will be capable of helping us with.

I think the distinction to be made in this case is when the use of a tool undermines the desired experience without us realizing it.

Like "I want to enjoy playing this game." > (uses cheats for a little bit) > "Now I don't enjoy playing it normally anymore."

Or "I want to be able to think critically." > (consults AI for everything) > "Now I have a hard time reasoning on my own."
