  • Jarix@lemmy.worldtoAsk Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which one is more annoying: leftover bread or leftover cheese?

    I eat cheese on its own as a snack regularly. I never eat bread on its own without at least butter on it.

    It’s enjoyable to eat cheese on its own so there is no problem here. And I would also have just put the extra cheese on the last piece of bread but it wouldn’t annoy me in anyway. The bread I would just toss unless I was actually hungry, but I’ve been eating cheese and bread all day so I’m not likely to be hungry

    Bread is not good for many birds to eat.

    This is a silly premise to begin with, but to answer it having an extra piece of bread left is the less desirable option

    “I don’t like it, but now we rely on it”

    Look I’m not saying you didn’t use it responsibly, the tech can be used well. But it’s just better not to incorporate it and normalize it. We are already having problem with kids of all ages losing the ability to think critically and if we push this tech into every corner of our lives and never take an intentional stand against it, or we draw no lines in the sand and say here but no further, we are headed in the same direction that has billionaires and other oligarchs choosing for us what is even available to us.

    Even what you said, without forcing people to wade through some journalists attempt at literature, well that’s a symptom of forcing journalists to turn every thing of interest they want to write on, into some opinion piece with a tasty juicy story that can be used for clicks and more traffic.

    Maybe I’m just a grumpy old man now, but I’m also someone who doesn’t understand why people can’t sit through a good movie, if it’s more than 90 minutes. Like do you not enjoy the things you do?

    It’s the constant pressure to turn everything into a headline, and just looking at headlines, that has helped put us in such a sorry state.

    I’m not arguing that it is or isn’t a benign use of AI that’s really not part of why I replied, at least to my way of thinking.

    It’s a stand against laziness. We have to hold ourselves accountable for the things we choose because they are convenient. Especially when they actually are because we as a whole can’t be trusted to use convenient things as if they arent a worse choice almost every time
