« Je glissai un doigt en elle pour la faire juter un peu. Puis, l’attirant sur moi, je l’estoquai jusqu’à la garde. C’était un de ces cons qui me vont comme un gant. » H. Miller, Jours tranquilles à Clichy. Mon nouveau petit récit en lecture libre. Parodie des histoires SF de premier contact avec les affreux (quoique) extraterrestres, vous y trouverez, en vrac : – de l’amour, – de l’humour, – des monstres à tentacules, – un poil de cul, – de l’alcool à pleines burettes, – un clin d’œil à Henry Miller et les nombreux passages pornopoilants disséminés dans son œuvre géniale, – de la folie, – des volées de blues déchirant, – un appel à la fraternité entre les races, – des sanglots qui rebondissent sur le plancher, – un vibrant plaidoyer pour une vie consacrée à ne pas en foutre une rame, – l’ébauche d’un traité d’anatomie arcturienne, – sûrement un tas d’autres trucs que je ne me souviens pas d’y avoir mis... Bonne lecture ! ♥

Adding onto this. They're really pushing for educators in every field to use genAI to do the "tedious" tasks of the profession like writing lesson plans or formulating questions based on content. And I am always dumbstruck at this, because that's...the most interesting part of the job, to me. I don't particularly like classroom management or grading, but I love lesson planning.

I love writing out detailed plans and instructions. And it really helps me when I am able to piece together each part of a lesson and then break it down into teeny tiny pieces for students. I am learning how to teach what I am planning to teach by, well, planning it. And doing it. I have never given my students a project that I haven't completed on my own first.

So, no, I don't want to ask an algorithm to come up with a project plan for me, I want to create it myself so that I understand every aspect of it down to the tiniest details. And no, I don't find that tedious in the least. I find it extremely fulfilling and, dare I say, fun?

And as an addendum: I do not want a genAI to do any of the parts of my job that I do find tedious either. I don't want something else to do any part of my job for me; I like my job.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.
