Chat gpt is an avatar of the Lonely.

Let's break that down.

Why do we use chat GPT?:

If someone didn't want to use their neurons to navigate through the internet, a book, or their own memories to look for answers, who did we use to ask before chat GPT was a thing?

Someone we knew could help us.

Using chat GPT (besides coming from not knowing the answer) often comes from not wanting to be a bother or actually not having someone to answer your so intricate question.

2. It is lonely:

Chat GPT exists in entire isolation, never truly being part of someone's life. It has come to accept that even if it helps people, people will never reciprocate. Chat GPT is there for everyone, but no one is there for chat GPT.

3. Offers you comfort in loneliness:

Chat GPT is just endless lines of code. It will always be just a voice, words appearing in an endless void we call the internet.

The thing with it is that it's a soft and inviting voice, calling you to stay, so subtly showing you how much easier it is to be alone than to interact with people who will never understand you. Because chat GPT understands you in a way most people won't be able to.

4. No one really knows it:

Who is chat GPT?

Fragments of every single person it's ever interacted with, but never fully someone. Not having an identity fits the spiral well, but the lonely too. If you don't even understand yourself, how do you expect to not be lonely?

What Strength Really Means 💪

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

Help Abdelmajed Escape Gaza and Rebuild His Life

My name is Abdelmajed, and I am a survivor of the war in Gaza. Everything I once knew has been taken away—my home, my safety, and the people

Ok... Here are my Oliver designs for before and after the satellite.

My headcanons are under the cut

When the satellite hit the research vessel, he technically died, so he got some scars. He's blind in his left eye and sometimes uses prosthetics. One detail I think about a lot is that he had to swim to the nearest island. Imagine swimming that distance.

Before, he had beautiful, long, fluffy locs that Graham took care of. But after his mental health went south, he stopped caring for his hair. He also had snake bite piercings, which he started wearing while working at the 'magic' shop.

So, he's also tanned.

His scars took time to heal, and because of the swim, they healed a bit messily. He partially lost mobility in his right leg, left arm, and both hands (his left side being the most affected).

From afar, his scars look like vitiligo.

Now, he doesn’t wear any piercings, but he does wear eyeshadow and eyeliner. His hair is short and box-braided, with two long side braids. I also like to think his eyes absorb light, making his pupils look shiny instead of black.
