This post and image were 100% AI-generated imitating me

I can't stop AI.

AI is the transhumanist globalist's "Golden Calf" that they want us to bend the knee to.

So I laugh at AI.

While I can use AI as a tool, much in the way I can use an Excel spreadsheet as a tool, I refuse to surrender my own Critical Thinking and have AI tell me what to think.

I am curious how much AI will be able to imitate me.

But AI will not be able to come up with original ideas or unique thinking like I can, as a human with a soul.

to keep my mind alert, I try to write something every day.
I used to do it on oil and gas forums, but those have disappeared.
So now I use LinkedIn, and sometimes X.

I find interesting this AI trying to copy & paste and mix around a bit and then regurtitate my writing style.

Perhaps I'll heckle the AI posts, to see how it reacts in its next posts.

Thanks Ernest Edsel. I tend to view the little imaginary, absurd, surreal universe which I have created here as useful for prodding intellectual thinking, and not just merely silliness or Dad jokes.

The recurring anthropomorphic characters I created here are useful for satire disguised as absurdity,, while (usually) avoiding the ire of the censors here.

it's not something that I usually do. But it is a typical format that other people use here, specifically on LinkedIn.

The AI proposed an agenda before it started, and I agreed.

that type of question is now removed from the AI generated posts for me.

nicely written and well thought out reply, as usual.

Mostly I write here for my own amusement, and to keep my thinkingness actively engaged.

Back when I was a volunteer moderator on oil & gas forums, it was not unusual for me to post 10 new posts every day, on the topic of international oil & gas plus its intertwined global politics.

Those oil & gas forums are gone.

So now, I play around here on LinkedIn, where I have been posting for 15 years.

Mostly these days I'm just writing for amusement, and interaction with replies from readers.

thanks for your feedback.
Yesterday, I requested the AI to *not* ask prompts in question form, because it is something that I rarely do.

The "question prompt" is a quirk peculiar to the LinkedIn forum, and I also generally dislike it.

Any question I ask here is usually humorously rhetorical, and I generally ask it for laughs, and not for reader response.

Pretty much anything I post here gets reader responses, since I've been posting pretty prolifically here for more than 10 years (since around 2012, I think) and I have a wonderfully engaging reader base here.
