The Dune books have a lot of material on that subject

It looks cool, and it turns out through a quirk of physics that looking cool makes things fly faster

It doesn't bother me, but my wife absolutely hates the feeling of terry cloth. Apparently that is common for people with ADHD (which she has) and autism. The main area I can relate is microfiber towels. I think those feel terrible. It's like I can feel the strands catching on each skin cell.

If I hadn't personally seen this on the internet almost 20 years ago, I would assume it's AI generated because of how weird it is.

I think whatever your stance on the ethics, trying to ban AI as a method of production is futile. Images created using AI are nearing the point of being indistinguishable from images created using other methods. Jokes from last year about how AI can't get the number of fingers on a hand right already seem outdated. It will soon become impossible to tell the difference between AI and non-AI imagery with any certainty, and we've already crossed that threshold for some images. That means a ban is ultimately not going to work. There's obviously lots of bad quality AI content out there, but there's also lots of bad quality content out there in general. I think focusing on the quality is more relevant than the method of production.

I'm sure Nedjem's owner would be infinitely amused that their cat is being discussed 3500 years later

They should make a banana case case so that you can keep your banana case from getting dirty too

Maybe, I've only heard "itsy bitsy" my whole life (American)
