1) I like ChatGPT's 'Milton' rewrite better than Tolkien's original. For me, JRR is in third place after that and the 'King James Bible" rewrite.
[Caption info for text readers: image of a man siting at a table outdoors as per the ''Prove me wrong' (aka 'Change my mind') meme. I've added the statement "ChatGPT's 'Milton' rewrite: Tis better that Tolkien's Original" as the assertion to be disproved.]
2) I checked my memory of the origin of the 'Prove me wrong' (aka 'Change my mind') meme, and it...proved me wrong. So apologies to "conservative podcaster and comedian Stephen Crowder", because of course I don't know how he was conducting the original debate or prank or whatever it was. What I was describing was one way the meme took off, and I'd forgotten that a real identifiable person was involved, whose conduct and attitudes might not reflect what the meme became.
At the same time, it remains true that pugnacious defence of opinion as if it were (a) fact and (b) desperately important is one of the stupider things that undermines some fandom discussions.
