Not sure if this goes here; apologies if it doesn't.

I created an account to try out Piefed, and the above message shows up on my homepage. However, no such email exists in my inbox. I've checked my spam folder. Not sure if any functionality is missing because of this.

All help appreciated.

I thought this was a pretty good video. Frankly, I disagree with what a lot of people in anti-AI communities say about the superiority of doing things the hard way. I don't think there's anything wrong with the easy way if it gets you the same result, and I don't think we've lost anything meaningful just because, say, the average person no longer has any phone numbers memorized. I think technology making life easier is a good thing.

But, as Rebecca Watson points out, so-called AI doesn't just replace things like rote memorization. It replaces thinking. That's dangerous, and therein lies the difference between AI and other tools.

TL;DR for AI writing warning signs:

• Use of the em-dash (—)
• Parallel sentence structure (e.g. "It's not just X, it's Y")
• Grouping things in threes or at least odd numbers
• Delineating line breaks with emojis
• Odd/unnatural verbiage
• Overuse of filler words (talking like your average LinkedIn post)
• Exaggerated and empty praise
• Weird analogies and similes
• Restating and overclarifying points

TL;DR for signs something was written by a human:

• Including anecdotes
• Written in the first person
• Tangents and nonlinear storytelling
