I'm pro-AI, but not pro-AI in the sense of, "turn these bullet-points into a verbose email," and not pro-AI for personal communication like this. I hope this kind of stuff doesn't become common. It's like going in the opposite direction of "SMS language" (which I view favorably).

damn, man, this is a gutpunch :| I’d be similarly dismayed
your friend who sends you audio recordings of them from various places they’re in sounds like a keeper - it’s great of them to share bits of their world with you in that manner :D

It was a text message from one of my racialized friends.
I don't understand what this is supposed to mean
The author felt the need to tell everyone their friend was not white and "Spanish or Dominican or whatever." But according to them, the A.I. birthday wishes is the sad part of this story.
imagine if you read the post instead of coming in here with a weird fucking accusation
I think you should leave.
@MrJameGumb Oh sorry! I was refering to the notion that society created race.
Ok... How was that in any way relevant to a story about a different friend sending you an AI birthday greeting?
Also your essay seems to suggest that you don't think people should express anything within the context of race, fair enough I suppose, but then you seem to take every opportunity to mention that your cool friend is Dominican... It's very confusing
I’d compare your intelligence to a bag of rocks, but that would require you to know what a comparison is.
yep, you can fuck off with this bad faith shit too
I am also, in good faith, confused.
alright
“Spanish or Dominican or whatever.”
nothing like this or that can be paraphrased to this appears in the article
Ok… How was that in any way relevant to a story about a different friend sending you an AI birthday greeting?
robert is describing how he, as a Blind author, experienced both his best birthday message and his worst one. he illustrated why he thought his Dominican friend’s message was beautiful and contrasted it with his other friend’s utterly thoughtless AI-generated message, which that friend sent even though they knew Robert’s views on AI
none of this is particularly objectionable unless you’re a big AI fan or you dislike interracial affection and you’re reaching for a problem to have with, as I mentioned, a Blind author affectionately describing his friend’s voice

just by reading this comment thread as-is, and searching up one single word, should be all you need to become less confused
Looked it up, and,
Racialization or ethnicization is a sociological concept used to describe the intent and processes by which ethnic or racial identities are systematically constructed within a society.
OK. And the author said he was referring to the fact that society created race. Sure, fine.
I'm no less confused as to why one would refer to their friend as "racialized." This friend is a person whose race has been created by society? But then that's true of everyone. What makes the Dominican friend racialized if Karen is not? If they both are, why refer to one as racialized and not the other?
your good faith evaporated almost as fast as my patience. fuck along now
in fact, fuck it, I don’t want any of this utter bullshit in my database
