draconica | I love reading blogs

Do you like reading blogs, dear reader?

For some reason, people still blog. There's some eternal fire within them that compels them to express themselves etc etc. More and more blogs are written by the machines, or machine-assisted. "It's not X, it's Y", they go, as if they compulsively need to oppose Y to X for some reason. They use em dashes excessively — and now I can't use them! Or my writing will seem machine-generated.

Machines are so good at senselessly juggling grand ideas that no other human can approach their mastery, not even me, whose entire blog consists of juggling of grand ideas. I just can't go and, like, connect two random ideas by the means of superficial similarities between them and turn it into a two pages long essay. If that was my job, then maybe, but even when humans do this for a job, they produce something so clunky and full of innocent fluff that in a way radiates the message "please don't beat me I did this for a paycheck".

But that's humans, and I'm not a human, I'm a cosmic dragon of more than 3000 years old age.

Previously I asked you if you liked reading blogs, dear reader, if you still remember. Of course, my invitation to share your experience was but a textual contraption with a sole purpose of letting me express my own opinion. I usually don't follow a blogger I'm interested in. I don't subscribe to updates. Usually I stumble upon blogs when I type a question in the search bar of the MegaCorporation website that sells ads. Blogs are the most common type of web content that appear as the answers to questions. They usually go on to explain something, for example like how I explain how I love reading blogs so much in this blog. So I turn to blogs when I need wisdom, when I don't want a simple answer, but I want to hear reasoning, the argumentation, the analysis, the half-baked assertions that lead nowhere, the emotional takes that more than anything else expose the inner world of the author. I see all kinds of personalities, I sense all kinds of souls, and that's why I love reading blogs.

But machine-generated blogs kinda suck, if I wanted to read machine prose, I could ask a chatbot.
