Certified Human.

Creator.

Doer of things.

Bullish on reality.

This is a slop-free zone.

Less of absolutely everything.

@tyromper @TheeJoelLopez I like the one where he asked the blind guy "What do you want me to do for you?"

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

The robot "thought" this was a complaint about not being able to watch highly censored versions of bad movies from 8 years ago, not about the ENGINE (slightly) FALLING APART OVER THE ATLANTIC.

"But the humans love to Consume Content On The Go!"

"AI is really good, it can totally replace your customer service."

AI:

@mkw_1 Safety is always first priority, and we appreciate you making us aware of this. We know the importance of entertainment to help pass the time on a long flight. Please meet us in DM for a closer look.

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

@AmericanAir @mkw_1 Delete your AI and hire the nice ladies in the Philippines back.

"We know the importance of entertainment to help pass the time on a long flight."

To a guy who kind of thought his whole family might plummet to their demise in the middle of the Atlantic.

So clever. So edgy.

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

Calling shoehorned AI features that nobody asked for a "companion" just makes it sound weird and a bit creepy.

"Say hello to your new AI companion!"

I will not.

I don't need the transcription feature on Zoom that I won't use to pretend to be my little robot friend.

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

@tyromper These aren't people, they're brands.

Pretending to be wrecked by a sip of wine is good for the brand (we're all talking about it, aren't we?)

Whatever they're selling now looks better to the people who buy it.

All the "haters" like us on the other side are just free promotion.

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

Pack it up guys, it's over.

Shut down the churches and worship only yourself, and your favorite filmmaker.

A guy is making a fictitious movie.

Nothing like this has ever happened before.

Our faith won't be able to withstand this.

We had a good run though. 🤡

🚨Report: Steven Spielberg says his new movie Disclosure Day which releases this Friday will leave Christians questioning their Faith in God

Came home to this last night.

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

You should just find a way to live where you want and make it work.

Moving to any old place nobody wants to be because it's "cheap" is the ultimate surrender to patheticness.

[Josh Barzon @JoshuaBarzon]

I genuinely don’t understand why people don’t sell everything they have, move to Iowa, buy a beautiful old house for next to nothing, and start enjoying a simpler, better, and more affordable life.

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

@tyromper @ZubyMusic @zachhomol_ Yeah, I get it.

I'm not making money here, but if they started paying me for random things I did, I'd probably start posting a lot more too.

People respond to incentives, but the smart ones do it with a bit of balance and respect for what matters most.

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

Cheap for a reason.

[forgetting tito, marshal @gimletmonocle]

btw they just let you just buy 80 acres of coastal mountain property in Northern California for 100k

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

@ZubyMusic The saddest part is that once you embrace this, the algorithm controls your life.

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

I never wrote this kind of trash, but many did, and many made huge sums of money off copy this bad and worse.

The models trained on reams of marketing slop, took what "works," and now we're all stuck with it.

A ruthless mirror of our own worst practices.

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

"Not a _____. Not a ____. An actual ____."

As a marketer and copywriter, I feel a tiny sense of guilt on behalf of the entire profession whenever I see AI vomit out this kind of slop to amp up the drama on some nothing post.

We unwittingly unleashed this on humanity.

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

@tyromper @ZubyMusic Road rage was actually how I trained this away.

I used to have a very long commute in heavy traffic, and I'd get mad at some little thing all the time.

Scream and yell and punch the seat... and still get nowhere.

Eventually you see the foolishness of it and decide to just stop

@OldHollowTree (I briefly considered making a QR code that then displayed this image, but it appears that someone already did something similar, and I don't want to.)

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

WOW, the same city!

If you fall for this stuff, I don't know what to tell you.

[liam freya @CelineDion96636]

@MarkBToole Can we get in touch since we're same city

[Mark Toole @MarkBToole]

Starting over after the freeze meant a short tomato season, but at least I got one bag of extras to freeze. 🤷‍♂️
