clean: @GiuseppeK yeah, my friend is mostly British and I don't think French is her thing. maybe she takes the feud between Britain and France too seriously.
an hour ago
GiuseppeK: @clean Not to be presumptuous, but I'm hoping that friend of yours didn't ever want to learn French in the first place. Anecdotal, but I've heard of the rebellious kid of a proud Chinese-American couple who deliberately flunked remedial Mandarin just to aggravate her parents.

clean: @GiuseppeK ha! sounds very Victorian era

GiuseppeK: @clean Not that I was there or anything (a little before my time), it could be at least a few of those old stories were designed to somewhat traumatize kiddos. 19th century "scared straight" program.

clean: @GiuseppeK oh yes! i remember seeing that video a few days ago, basically the professor wrote, in white text, to use the word "Madagascar" without context. the idea was that if you wrote the paper yourself you wouldn't see the white text. if you copy-pasted it into AI then the AI would catch it.

GiuseppeK: @clean I just hope that those 32 cheaters using the tech to do their homework aren't also the same ones performatively declaring their opposition to AI (a *little* consistency would be nice).
an hour ago
GiuseppeK: @clean 32 papers (just checked), and all of them contained the same verbatim non-sequitur about "Madagascar." The professor himself personally added "an invisible trap in white text" (what that means, no idea--I'm way too much of a 20th century fox to understand the particulars).
an hour ago
GiuseppeK: @clean Well, I believe students are still expected to write, although technology seems to do the actual work in current era. I don't remember the details, but seems not too long ago, a professor was able to ascertain that 30 out of 35 of his pupils had not only cheated, they couldn't've even been bothered to proofread.

clean: @GiuseppeK honestly, I'd be impressed if tutors as a general thing still exist, since there's hundreds, if not thousands, of AI "study tools" along with ChatGPT. in fact, I'd be impressed if people even wrote essays anymore. ChatGPT is actually banned at my school and on the very first page of the rules handbook, though one of my friends recently used ChatGPT because she didn't want to learn French grammar

GiuseppeK: In any case, I for one am so thrilled Rachel Zegler came along and finally set things straight. 👍

clean: @GiuseppeK i agree, had the brothers Grimm fairytales been geared towards kids, the poor kids would have been traumatised. though since i'm no longer the target age for the family-friendly Disney adaptations, I find the brothers Grimm versions pretty entertaining.

GiuseppeK: I guess that job is obsolete now--I imagine my classmates would've outsourced flesh and blood wordsmiths to AI if we were still in class now.

GiuseppeK: @clean (As a writing tutor at university, I was getting a crash course on problematic aspects of old fairy tales via the essays and other papers getting brought to me.)
2 hours ago
GiuseppeK: @clean If it makes the problematic tale the least bit more palatable, the original story ambiguously described her as being in the glass casket "a long time." And if memory serves, it wasn't a kiss that snapped her out of it--getting carried off cleared up that troubling bit of apple.

clean: @Nainika HOLD UP WHAT? 7?! a 7 year old got poisoned and married!? when i was 7 i was jumping off tall trees. and drawing unicorns and shimmer and shine. i've heard that the brothers Grimm's fairytales were way darker, and the disney adaptations were geared for kids though, so maybe Snow White being 7 is from the original version from the brothers Grimm and I think Snow White is 14 in the disney version

SShkz1380: @Nainika *Merlin* is a British television series in the fantasy and adventure genre. The series began airing on the BBC on September 20, 2008, and continued until 2012. It is based on the legends of Merlin and his relationship with King Arthur, though it differs from traditional versions of these legends.

sophen: @Dsaf_Jane yeah, i don't like the fact that some people do try to make them canon, i more meant just about fnaf in general not the lore/story

sophen: @Nainika thanks, i probably need new colored pencils
1 day, 3 hours ago
Dsaf_Jane: @sophen the fnaf movies are non-cannon so you dont really need to know anything about the franchise to enjoy them. The books are also mostly non-canon
