Tampa who is currently on the Physically Unable…
The long-loved educational app Quizlet has been a cornerstone of my academic success since I was about 14 years old. Back then, I had to manually create digital flashcards, which probably took more time than actually learning the material.

I stand on the edge of an eroding cliff. As the cliff approaches me, objects sway cartoonishly before fading into oblivion. Sculptures, paintings, books, buildings, and other works of human creativity are engulfed. The erosion accelerates with dizzying force as the cliff begins to crumble beneath my feet. Storm. Crashing waves. HD. Photorealistic.”Is that Land's End?” my partner asked, looking blankly at my screen. I clearly need to hone my prompting skills, because the prompts I fed into the generator were supposed to be AI representations of vertigo, but the images they produced weren't the apocalypse I had in mind.…
