I fucking hate having to swear. But, it’s the best fucking defence we have to protect our writing.
The problem is generative AI. It poisons our search results, and it feeds us automatically-generated hallucinations - which, by the way, is not a problem that can be solved, it’s the core fucking feature. Generative AI is just autocomplete with some prompt text before and after what you type in. That’s literally all it is. AI companies “train” their models by spidering the entire web, not stopping to give two shits about copyright law.
BUT.
When it encounters a swear word - like fuck, or shit, or cunt - it stops what it’s doing. Swear words are dangerous. They might turn off advertisers.
So, I swear. I even swear in my search queries so the AI algorithm says “Nope, fuck that, I’m out” and goes back to the old algorithm.
Try it. Google “how to clean perspex” and you’ll get (most likely, fallacious) slop long before you see any search results. Now, google “how to fucking clean perspex” and... what’s this? Actual results?!
Also, have you even seen the fucking state of the world lately? We’re boiling the planet in a never-ending race to the fucking bottom. Swearing makes you feel better.
Try it.
Bloody try it. Im-fucking-mediately.
Yes, out loud, just shout “Bastards!” at the top of your voice, just let out some of that pent-up anger.
Feels better?
Of course it fucking does.
