The only times God has spoken directly to me were to tell me I was being stupid.

The point of mask mandates is short term. They are meant to slow the spread, not stop it.
It’s possible to feel strongly and still be independent. Partisan politics package often inconsistent ideology together. You don’t have to be milquetoast to want an a la carte approach to politics.
My brother and I used to play a game called Splatterhouse on Turbografx-16. It was humorously horrifying, given the highly pixellated gore on screen.
Maybe you can copyright the prompt itself. But not the output.
But there is nothing about the person themselves that affects the outcome of the prompt.
You probably actually wouldn’t when it’s 5 times more expensive.
You do know it’s not an either- or situation, right? You can be both.
Well, yes. AI models don’t extract meaning. They parrot statistically likely responses based on words used. They had to research that?
I see you’re an optimist.

It HAS enabled it. I’ve watched my kids be abused for 15 years, powerless to stop it, because CPS told me to stop “causing trouble” with my ex after my second report, or I’d lose custody.
I am fairly faithful, though more liberal than many in my faith. My kids have come out to me maybe a dozen times in total, and have been disappointed every time because I didn’t go crazy on them. Most religious people don’t hate LGBTQ, even if they also don’t agree with some of it. Most religious parents love their children AND their faith, and are willing to let their kids make their own choices.
Don’t let a vocal few and their media response cause you to try to squish your parents into a box. They can love you and not love your choices, but also support you making them. Not everything is black and white. If you have kids, some day your kids will subscribe to ideologies you don’t like, too. It’s part of parenting. Parents are allowed to be disappointed when their kids reject the things they love.
Just stay true to what you feel is right, try to love your imperfect parents, give it a few years and everything will look much different one way or the other.

Two thoughts: this is mind-blowing AND there’s no possible way this could go wrong, right? Right?!?
I would go back to the day of my wedding and tell myself to trust my gut, that it wasn’t just cold feet. That the embarrassment and financial loss of calling it off was nothing compared to what I lost that day without even realizing it.
I would lose my kids, but maybe I’d still be myself and they would be somewhere with a mother who isn’t a mother-shaped empty shell.
Weren’t they saying this back in the 90s?
I was going to respond, but you said it so much better than I could have.
The tension between liability and control is real.
Besides all the reasons other commenters have said, it’s because mental health is a pseudo-social phenomenon among teens.
Having a mental illness gets them attention, online and in person. I have two teens, and even though both have diagnosed mental illness due to trauma from their other parent, they still seek, discuss, and revel in self-diagnoses.
If a friend claims to have something, they rush to the internet to do “research,” and begin exhibiting “symptoms.” Same thing is true with other labels.
We have a dearth of parenting, due to needing two incomes to make a household run. Adult attention is scarce, so teens make up for it with wild claims and garnering attention from other teens. The internet makes it easy to model behaviors. So yes, there is an increase in mental illness, but not the kinds, nor for the reasons the internet would have us believe.
