Do you guys remember looking at people's faces? Do faces seem blurry in memories?

I'm suspecting that I might be autistic, but I don't know if I know enough about autism to make a self diagnosis.

I've always avoided eye contact for as long as I remember, but I usually don't mind looking people I'm close to in the eyes. One of my teachers have called me out for it before, saying it's "disrespectful" and that "other people won't take it well". I've also been called out for twirling my hair when talking to teachers (because teachers are scary and make me nervous).

I've noticed that I don't remember looking at most people's faces. I remember looking at people's forehead, ears, or neck. But rarely their face. It makes faces blurry in my memories most of the time. But it also doesn't impact my ability to recognize those people.

I think it's because I don't look people in the eye often (I'm a genius, I know). But do you guys experience this as well?

Why do people like AI so much?

These are images from the English for today book (class 8) that I suspect might be AI.

Why? Just why? Is it that hard to to search on Google? Making badly photoshopped photo takes like 20 mins. Or they could have used drawings instead. Why AI?

It's so stupid. People act like searching on google is harder than flying a plane and stock images no longer exist. Searching on any search engine is faster than waiting like an hour for chat gpt to spew out a sloppy image with an sepia filter. It's so pointless.

A lot of people don't care about stuff like this because "Ai Is tHe fUtUrE" or whatever. But AI generated images and text really bother me. AI images look horrible and AI generated text is annoying to read. Also, image generating bots (the chat gpt and gemini type) are useless. We never needed them.

A lot of people also rely on advice from AI, which is even stupider, not to mention extremely dangerous. Anyone with a brain should know that AI is not to be trusted. People have almost died or formed unhealthy addictions with AI chat bots. It's also making people stupider.

But for some reason, most adults I know and many of my classmates trust whatever slop these bots generate. Why?
