i don't know if the text supports a trans spidergwen headcanon

like let's be clear, "gwen stacy is trans" doesn't really mean anything because it's got no bearing on the story. it's not explicitly confirmed in words, it isn't brought up as a point of conflict, she just *has* a trans flag and that's all the information we're given.

what it does mean is that she is at least as likely to be trans as she is cis. her being cisgender is equally irrelevant to the plot and equally unconfirmed *by* the plot.

so fuck it. spider-gwen is trans. fight me

"maybe she's just an ally"

allies love putting trans flags with the words "protect trans kids" written on them inside their room above their bedroom door where literally no one else could see it but them

I have to admit that, if your goal is to have a ton of angry readers send you a detailed list of every single mistake made in your "AI"-written piece, Star Wars is not a bad choice of topic.
TL;DR: ChatGPT&co can write text that makes some superficial sense if you squint your eyes hard enough, but not much more than that.

Just a reminder of how dangerous trusting machine learning to reconstruct an image is.

@ret Those are just as bad. :(
There needs to be more restrictions on those sort of single-use electronics.

@renbymon supermarket near me still has the “Power Boost” single use power banks too. Literally a charged Li-Ion power bank that once it’s discharged you just bin it.

Single-use vapes are such an environmental hazard when not disposed of correctly; they should never have been allowed on the market.
