I’ll try those keys. But when you have a document with multiple chapters, the actual buttons on a scroll bar that is full width and static are pretty critical. Not everyone uses it for TPS reports.

And why the hell does a desktop app need a mobile scroll anyway. Jesus Fuck, just give me the extra 5 pixels you psychopath.

Thank you. My point is it can be used to think with you, and not just for you. And, maybe provide a little virtual moral support, when you’re trying to do something new, and hard. I’m actually a little surprised Open AI hasn’t pushed this kind of use-case.

I appreciate that, thank you. Just wanted to suggest one way it can be not totally evil, and I am a admittedly a bit grateful for it as a handy assistant–like a Jarvis with minor brain damage.

I’m writing fiction. Sometimes parts benefit from slower or quick pacing. Sometimes you write something that makes no sense.

It’s not writing anything for me. It’s suggesting where I’m not making things clear, or where a quicker pace or punchier phrasing might help, awkward prose, inconsistent character voice, etc. And something to bounce ideas off of, like “does this make sense?”

And I can respond, and it adjusts, and helps me get to a baseline standard before a human looks at it–who I sent a draft to a few days ago. It’s 100% my own ideas, words, scene staging, and story. I still rewrote entire sections even though it said they were solid.

I don’t know a lot of writers, and getting friends and family to read 5 pages, let alone 2,000 words, or 13 chapters is near impossible. Critique meetups and such are only so helpful.

And I’ve never done this before, yet I’ve actually created something, which ChatGPT made a little easier by acting as a mostly competent editor with mostly mediocre creative instincts, anyway. Sometimes it’s nonsense, or forgets character traits, but it’s more helpful than zero support.

6 months ago I had no clue I was capable of anything like this, but now I’m doing it, and frankly it’s a pretty original story. Would you not consider that a positive use?

As soon as Writer allows for a static standard scroll bar that doesn’t auto-hide, I will. Call me irrational, but I cannot use an application based around scrolling with no real scroll bar.

I am using a tool that’s available to me. I’m not going to not use it just because some people use it wrong. What the fuck?

And if it wasn’t, I never would have discovered a new skill I had no clue I could do before, so I’m going to insist that you lick my nutsack. How’s that for maturity?

Huh?

Nope. I’ve been using it for preliminary writing editing. It’s not creating anything, just giving advice on how to make it clearer.

Why is lead used at all? Why not steel?

Well, the CEO did openly invite and approve of this. In his own words, Flock cameras aren’t forced on anyone. So the only logical conclusion is to destroy them if so desired.

Acting on it? I mean, I guess opening and closing your mouth is technically action.

Hi Brenda,

No.

This clip shows that he walks in front of the car, and then approaches as she’s already in motion, before killing her. And it shows the dog. It is insanely damning. And then you can compare it to other angles that show him a good two feet away with his first shot.
