I think there's going to be—perhaps already is—a growing protest movement against the perfectionness of AI writing, falsie filters, etc
And the values of human imperfection and dirty realness may be hallmarks of that movement
I delight in your misspelling!
I love your in your clumsy phrase!
That scar on your face, the droopy eyelid, the too-whatever legs — that's where the true beauty is found

Periodically I'll spot that I made a typo—misspelling, missed word—in a comment on PI.FYI.
Normally I'd fix or correct something like that. But since there's no edit feature for comments, my only option is to delete and repost the comment.
But I've decided to let my comments remain: errors and all.
There's a willful choice in that decision that is a small reflection of a broader way I'm wanting to live:
this is me—imperfections and stumbles and bruises and limps—and I'm not going to airbrush over it
There's freedom in that!

in a world of automatic AI translation and a lack of humanity in digital spaces, i find it refreshing to see evidence that text was indeed typed by a human - someone who makes mistakes and that's okay.
i was just browsing a localized version of a website and noticed a word misspelled and for once i didn't feel annoyed, but happy

As neural networks work to render everything perfect in appearance and spiritually empty, all of a sudden it feels immensely intriguing to see a word spelled wrong every now and then.

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
