What happened, Paisley-san?
@Paisley Pythia Peinforte7:09 AM
I woke up. Was tired. As was my wont, I logged on and saw a Youtube video. This Youtube video:

Right? I was livid. Wooden acting and stilted line delivery best suited to small children playing doors in their school play.
Then I read the comments and realised it was AI. AI slop. And I was fooled.

Well considering Highlander: The Source exists, who can blame ya for believing this level of s[BLEEP]t was real?
@Paisley Pythia Peinforte7:14 AM
But that's the point! Even though it was only for a few minutes, I was completely credulous. You can indict Hollywood's history of s[BLEEP]t production values or my fatigue or whatever, but the fact of the matter is for those few minutes I was taken in, and in Internet time a few minutes is all it takes to ruin one's life forever.

You're being too hard on yourself, Paise. You got trolled, that's all. It's okay.
@Paisley Pythia Peinforte7:18 AM
Oh? But what happens when the next video is a targeted scam and looks REALLY well done? Face it, I've become one of those "users" we geeks love to make fun of.
I worry about the future, I do.
