Hey, I just want to say that I rarely read so long comments, but now I did, and I'm glad I did. Thank you for the nuanced and honest takes, I share a lot of the same thoughts. I'm still a bit sceptical about the Dots and Duets and stuff, but maybe now less so. I may give Duet a try.

This means a ton! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and mentioning that, it really makes the effort spent ranting feel worthwhile and helps calibrate against all the general anti-ai hate :). If you run into any issues with Duet, I’m happy to take partial responsibility for your pain and suffering so feel free to email me at intenex@gmail.com if I can ever help with anything!
