On discovering it was just AI

Just came across this excellent insight from Menka:

"There's an old parable about a man napping in his anchored boat when suddenly—crash—another vessel slams into him. His first reaction is fury: how inconsiderate! But when he looks up and sees the other boat is empty, just drifting on its own, no ill-will at play, his anger dissolves into laughter. Same impact, entirely different emotional response. This is our AI future in miniature. When we know we're reading machine-generated content, something essential switches off inside us. Not happy, not sad, not angry—just nothing." - Menka Sanghvi
