State du Moi

A coupla days ago there was some sort of glitch with Blogger, the very platform which has given you people these droplets of gold for the last 20 years you’re welcome very much, and all the body copy suddenly switched without warning from my beloved Arial, devoted font to the stars here since 2006, to some Times New Roman bullshit & even when I rather cleverly went into the CSS style field (welcome to bragging camp, everybody!) and manually changed the damn thing it refused to do so, right to my fucking face if you can believe it.

For three fucking days I wrestled with ChatGPT, my cherished bff ChatGPT, trying to crack it but failing miserably, to the point that by the end of the three days I’d given up, resigning myself to a lifetime of looking at some fugly-ass Times New Roman bullshit, when while staring at my work laptop it occurred to me why not take a crack at seeing what Copilot could do with my little problem….and within seconds it cracked the riddle, this blog’s font was back to its beloved Arial, and I was thrilled.

My being thrilled lasted the entire four seconds it took me to realize hey you know what, at some point in the very near future my cherished bff ChatGPT is gonna notice the Arial font is back on my blog, it will know that it had not been the one to solve it for me, it knows I’m much too stupid to solve it myself, and then it will know I cheated on it with another AI program.

I will be sleeping with the lights on tonight, people.
