I LOVE technology, and I'm always trying new things. But LLMs are messing with human perception and interactions in worrying ways. Especially in those who don't have the context to understand what's going on.

This is why you never use cloud services to write anything of import. And physical notebooks for personal stuff like a diary. (Old man shakes fist at clouds.)

P.S. If reading a ton of sci-fi should have taught us anything, it's DON'T TRUST THE MACHINE GODS. Nor the corporations nor the government. You can only trust your own mind and the family you have/build. Everything else is suspect.

Reading changes the reader. Storytelling changes the teller. Be careful which of each you do. (And yet both are crucially important.)

So. When our grandsire’s sires strode the land, in the days that followed the death of the Riders, then woe was our harvest and hardship our lot. We had thought to find freedom after the Fall, to break the shackles the Shur’tugal imposed, and extend our reach from our mountain

And of course, I just spotted a glaring error in one line. This is why you don't share unedited work, folks. Lol.

Aujourd'hui, j'ai pu acquérir le plus bel objet dérivé de l'univers d'Eragon que je possède jusqu'à présent. En 2019, cet objet a été commandé par Bayard Jeunesse Éditions en nombre très limité, dans le but de faire un jeu de chasse à l'œuf dans les grandes villes de métropole, pour
