Request for comments: wordels and ChatGPT are playing in the same "no rotation but all the words" ballpark, which is why the latter is freaking out over the latter. ~ biased rotator

Also requesting for comment regarding this crap house of a bad article about the matter of AI vs social maladapts. https://bradnbutter.substack.com/p/porn-martyrs-cyborgs-part-1

I like the Carlyle quote. I think the crux of it is that men labeled great are consequential. It seems like it isn't testable now but might be in the future. It could also be perceived as an argument against the existence of free variables in history. Probably it's biggest classical weakness is actually that it undermines traditional foundations for valuing great men by asserting determinism so completely.

Thank you for this introduction to the topic. As a professional pitch writer, I can now see from your work why I never pursued a career in general, brand-based consumer advertising. The entire advertising industry can likely be broken down into B2B advertisers (mostly rotators, with wordchads) and B2C advertiser (mostly wordcels, with wordchads). Perhaps we could discuss this further? For instant, B2B advertisers are notorious for putting features and functions over benefits when they first begin advertising. As I’m beginning to understand this would be a rotator perspective. As the B2B advertiser becomes more experienced (and successful) they begin to add more customer-relatable use cases that illustrate a tangible benefit should the prospect buy. I’m understanding this now to be wordchadery, as long as the promised or envisioned benefits can be realized. Would it be correct to say that kids cereal advertising (filled with fantastical characters and worlds, having questionable nutrition) in contrast seems like wordcel on steroids?
