  13. My parents keep using chatgpt or whatever to give me feedback on my college essays- and when I tell them to not do that, they acts like I'm being unreasonable. For reference, this is the intro to my college essay (be warned, it's political. If you disagree with what it says, just move on lol, I'm not in the mood for arguments)
     

    Spoiler

    On the 14th of June, 2025, Melissa Hortman was assassinated. Three months later, Charlie Kirk was killed in broad daylight in front of thousands of college students. Every day, the world is growing more violent and divided. So honestly? I’m scared. It’s been a harrowing few years in the world, especially in America. Insurrections, the pandemic, riots- a lot has happened in the past few years that worries me. The political right has grown more extreme worldwide, more racist, homophobic, anti-immigrant, and so much else. We’ve all grown obsessed with conspiracies about stolen elections, vaccines, climate change, and higher education. The worst part is how powerless I am against it. I’m just a scared kid- even with all the will in the world, there’s only so much I can do to change the world. I do what I can to get my voice heard, writing to my representatives, the newspapers, and to anyone who will listen. But there’s the issue: how can I convince people to listen to my point of view when I’m not even a person to them?

    The assassination of Representative Melissa Hortman in June and the killing of Activist Charlie Kirk in September made one thing terrifyingly clear: our political landscape has become dangerously fractured and violent. I refuse to accept this as the inevitable. These targeted attacks solidified my conviction that the greatest threat to our nation is not some external foe, but our own failure to maintain civil discourse and democratic integrity at home. This division has become intensely personal, manifesting in legislative and judicial threats to the foundational rights of people like me.  Rights as fundamental as marriage, equality in the workplace, and personal safety are in jeopardy. My generation inherited this divided America, but I believe we have the capacity and the moral responsibility to rebuild it. This commitment to active, solutions-oriented engagement drives every choice I make and defines my purpose for pursuing higher education.



    THIS SOUNDS LIKE GODDAMN CHATGPT WROTE IT!

    THE WHOLE POINT OF A COLLEGE ESSAY IS FOR IT TO SOUND LIKE A PERSON WROTE IT.

      Frankly, the only thing an LLM has done that's useful for me is processing large amounts of Data and Translating a Dead languge.

  15. What does it mean to be a Hypocrite? Are you a liar? A fool? A sell out?

    I don't think you can label all with one.

    Hypocrites are well varied; most people say one thing, but do another. Few people follow through on their grand ideals, because when push comes to shove, so many of us would rather do what is easy, rather than what we believe in. 

    I'm certainly no exception, while I try to practice what I preach, I often fall short, and end up doing things that I judge others for. I understand that in many regards, I am a hypocrite.

    But being a hypocrite, in of itself, isn't evil. It is incorrect, but it isn't wrong. What determines the wrongness, you might ask?

    Intention. 

    When I go against my beliefs, its is through negligence and sloth; personal failures, not a betrayal of the self. There are those, however, who take a far more... selfish ideal of belief. When people take deliberate steps to betray their beliefs, either those they announced, or those that they hold deep to their hearts- they are the second type.

    At that point, you are not merely failing, you are lying. Betrayal of the self for perceived good is morally wrong- especially if you must lie to achieve it. 

    And I do hate a liar.

    A hypocrite is sometimes a man in the process of changing, but more often than not, they're merely spineless, or even worse, slimy and calculating.

      A point to this: I wish we would differentiate between a person experiencing hypocrisy and a hypocrite. As follows:

      Hypocrisy is the first stage of growth. It is recognizing in others the faults you are not yet ready or able to see in yourself, or the actions that others must take that you are not yet ready to take yourself.

      This state, as a transitory state, is good. It is when one remains here, though, that one becomes a hypocrite—one who refuses to turn his own vision to himself.
