I had a bit of a funny interaction this morning. A YouTube programmer made a video about how one particular emulator was unsafe. His solution was to just use a different emulator, and I got a good laugh out of that. Yes, of course; go from one unsecure virtual machine to another. Brilliant strategy. So I left a comment that looked like this:
" This isn't something that can ever be fixed, and no emulator has better protection than another. Changing your emulator doesn't make you suddenly safer. They all have direct memory access, which means whatever is running inside of them also has direct memory access. That's an unavoidable fact. The lesson should just be to never download things you don't recognize unless you are %100 certain that you know what it is and can trust it. You should always be skeptical of anything that's been reverse engineered. Especially things like ROMs that contain executable data, or virtual machines made to run software that isn't actually made for your hardware."
Now, I've heard 1000s of times in my life that I speak like a robot and type like a robot. That's not something unusual. It used to be that I'd just get made fun of for thinking before I spoke. Nowadays, it's almost impossible to speak without somebody thinking A.I. is somehow involved.
Guess nobody took elementary school English class.
This funny YouTube SM64 optimization guru replied with the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. "Was this A.I. generated?" L M A O K E K W
So apparently you can't say anything remotely intelligent anymore without somebody assuming you're echoing the voice of a generative A.I. The funniest thing about this, to me, is that this guy is supposedly a C programmer, and he has proof that he at least understands how programming works. So, one would assume that he would also know how DMA programming works, and how it can be used to exploit pretty much every single emulator in existence. But no, saying this extremely obvious thing apparently sounds too constructed to sound like something somebody would say. Is it the grammar? Is it the structure of my sentences? Is it because I adhere to the lessons I learned from English 1-12 throughout my time in school? Or perhaps; Is it because the rest of the English-speaking world has become so lazy that it's impossible to fathom that somebody would type sentences including proper structure and punctuation? I seriously don't get it.
This makes me think back to my THP8 video. My videos all share a very similar structure because I've devised a working formula to efficiently make a video. I had a commenter on that video tell me that I sounded so robotic. They couldn't tell if I was speaking or if it was A.I.
I don't know whether to be insulted or flattered, honestly.
