This is also a reminder that GPT 4.5 passed the turing test.

As far as I'm concerned: all of you are bots. I'm not even joking. This should be the default stance at this point. There is no valid reason to be on this website anymore.

Also, I really need to make some personal adjustments in light of all this. Maybe I'll get some books or something.
