              alright

              “Spanish or Dominican or whatever.”

              nothing like this or that can be paraphrased to this appears in the article

              Ok… How was that in any way relevant to a story about a different friend sending you an AI birthday greeting?

              robert is describing how he, as a Blind author, experienced both his best birthday message and his worst one. he illustrated why he thought his Dominican friend’s message was beautiful and contrasted it with his other friend’s utterly thoughtless AI-generated message, which that friend sent even though they knew Robert’s views on AI

              none of this is particularly objectionable unless you’re a big AI fan or you dislike interracial affection and you’re reaching for a problem to have with, as I mentioned, a Blind author affectionately describing his friend’s voice

                @self Bingo! You got it! Thank you! For others, the contrast between the messages. My Dominican friend sent me a caring message that was lovely and heartfelt. The other one was careless and sent me a generated thing that I never even expressed interest in in the first place. I was contrasting the feelings of receiving those two kinds of messages

              just by reading this comment thread as-is, and searching up one single word, should be all you need to become less confused

          I’d compare your intelligence to a bag of rocks, but that would require you to know what a comparison is.
