I gave you the benefit of doubt and waited 24h for everything to come out. I don't even know where to start. First, I'm not going to sit here and judge whether you are a "good" or "bad" person. I don't know you enough to have my own fleshed out opinion. However, sometimes good people do bad things & bad people do good things. What you did was not only shitty but you lied about it. You destroyed any credibility you had by not being honest about your mistake immediately. This post is filled with self victimization. You blamed other people, claimed your effort was pointless because it's out of your hands, and tried to seek pity by exaggerating the back lash. You are being called out for something YOU chose to do then LIED about it. Second, I think it's despicable to claim you struggle to identify AI are when you generated the garbage. There are many people trying to learn how to spot this shit. I'm EMBARRASSED I can't always tell the difference but I'm trying so I don't buy any of it. You pretty much MOCKED us and started a huge discourse on it "not being that hard to tell unless you're a moron" so fuck you for that. Third, to those who jumped on that bandwagon, get fucked. Give people a little bit of grace before you jump down their throat and insult their intelligence because you feel superior. Some of us are genuinely trying and you make it harder to do so. I have thick skin but remember your words could harm your cause. I am disgusted by the amount of people who idly stand by with pitchforks waiting to pounce on the next huge drama. The amount of people who claim they "knew" something was off the moment a rumor starts is sickening. You didn't "know". You're a bully waiting to insult someone who doesn't agree with you. I disagree with what Mystic has done and the way she handled this situation overall. However, I don't appreciate the amount of people who were quick to judge before any concrete proof was share. Shame on you. This community is full of people who love to bully each other and it really fucking sucks. Send tweet.
