I call it the numbing hour. It’s only scheduled as a half hour but it always runs for nearly an hour. I never speak for more than two minutes, I just stand there as my motivation to do literally anything for the rest of the day burns down to zero. Sometimes I wake up 110% motivated with a list of stuff I can’t wait to get done, fortunately the numbing hour is first thing everyday ensuring that I am always fully neutralized.
This is a cool use case. Just make sure you retain your own voice! If you read an AI-generated sentence out loud and think “I’d have said it this way instead”, IMO you should absolutely then change it to be that way.
AI has niches but they’re exactly that: Niches. Small duct tape tasks for fudging over “hard problems” where manual code would result in a worse outcome and take far more time. Little esoteric problem spaces, which notably don’t actually require you to use several states worth of electrical power training on a 50PB dataset of anime titties.
An example: I have a name generator in my game that strings together several consonant+vowel phoneme pairs into a name. This means that the names are always pronounceable, but often the spelling looks really unintuitive. Eg Joosiffe, which the player would likely pronounce as Joseph. However, the leap we do in our head between those two spellings is a process of declassifying phonemes and then re-classifying phonemes, and is actually a “hard problem” from a coding perspective due to the unintituive, multifarious complexities of written, spoken, and conceptualized human language. Adding this step to my name generator in code would be a project of it’s own, larger than the game itself, and wouldn’t ever work nearly as well as it needed to. But relatively small (30MB) AI models that do this with something like 99.8% satisfaction already exist. They didn’t require a data center’s worth of resources to train, and since they’re academic projects they have licenses that allow them to be used for free in a game.
You can’t know that with absolute certainty. Sorry, but if you’re using someone elses server for your communications and they’re not end to end encrypted, you should just assume that they can and do read your emails, and act accordingly.

WTF is Reddit?
Seriously though get off that site, it’s not good for you.
I’ve always pronounced it “In-jen-iks”. I blame Jurassic Park and it’s fictional biotech company InGen, but it does kinda also sound like “eugenics”. But I dunno man, if you want everyone to pronounce your software a specific way maybe spell it in a manner where the pronunciation is more obvious? Just a thought.
I missed that phase because I was using Netscape.
I love subsidizing these jackoffs energy bills in my own power bill /s. 17c/kwh for me, 3c/kwh for Bezos… From the same supplier.
Don’t fuck around with Reddit, it’s become an unchecked consent-manufacturing machine masquerading as a web 2.0 forum and if you consistently speak your mind on there it’s only a matter of time until you get on some power-hungry moderator or admin’s shitlist with zero means to communicate or reciprocate. Save yourself the grief and leave it to die, it’s become literally what federated sites were created to make obsolete.
