I feel you: every single word of it!

And you’re absolutely right: it’s an exhausting subject. No matter how eloquently we address the issue, there are always those loopholes or arguments that seem to take us right back to square one.

I don’t have much to add because you’ve hit the nail on the head.

Just one small thing I want to reiterate (as I’ve mentioned before):

Please don’t misuse AI. Readers can easily see through it, and honestly, you don’t need a machine to figure this out.

Using AI in an artistic capacity actually requires more effort than a regular post. I once organized an autobiography contest where an old cranky chair acted as the judge and replied to contestants in old slang English. I would first craft a reply, then adapt it to the required tone using AI, and finally refine and tweak it as needed. This process easily quadrupled my workload. So, I’d never want anyone to accuse me of taking shortcuts. Trust your intellect, this isn’t rocket science really.
