Apparently kids have been saying “unalive” in way more normal contexts too, not just places where you’re trying to avoid bot censors. Like, using it in essays because they think it’s a more formal way of saying it kill, like “dead” vs “deceased”
(There’s certainly a chance this is made up and I’m sounding like the weird chuds who think there are litterboxes in classrooms and if that’s the case whoops)
I genuinely wish there was a way to pressure advertisers to knock that shit off. God I hate that word so much. Please just let people say kill I don’t want to hear unalive anymore it sounds so stupid.
I just find it incredibly depressing there's a generation growing up whose vocabulary is being directly influenced by Google's bots
It's just so fucking grim. In 10 years everyone is going to talk like they're trying to trick ChatGPT into saying something naughty
Hey don't be too sad, it's being influenced by China’s bots too.
