> People don’t really use ChatGPT as a search engine replacement
Some do, and they think that they are using it as a replacement. I've been doing research on its use among college students and I've heard firsthand that some of them (especially from students in non-STEM fields) think ChatGPT can be as useful as, if not better than, search engines at times for _seeking_ information.
You may be talking to a specific subset of the population, but once you branch out and observe/hear from broader demographics, you'd be surprised to learn about people's mental model of the genAI technologies.
It's largely due to the Dragon Ball anime broadcast overseas. The series has an incredibly large following in LATAM and South/Southeast Asian countries in general.

I don't see anything to be gained from this call other than solidifying the current administration political stance. Unless I'm missing something, this seems to be an incredibly destructive decision creates little to no benefits to the American society... For instance, that "6% of all students" alone contributes a great deal to the US economy:
> According to the Commerce Department, international students contributed $45 billion to the U.S. economy in 2018.
Those who have not lived outside of the US (or NA) don't realize how hard life is for the rest of the world; most will just move right back within months.
Been there myself. Life ain't easy out there.
Edit - A little bit of context here: I am speaking as someone who was born and raised in a developing country rife with racial and political problems. My point is, a lot of people who are yelling about immigrating due to the election result are overly naive with their outlook. It takes an incredible amount of effort to adjust to a new environment, not to speak of giving up the connections and comfort they have in the US. It's not as easy as just "moving to another country".
Canada and the US are virtually equivalent in most respect for jobs, standard of living etc... I'm from Canada, and now live in the US, I lived in north Florida and have seen people struggle incredibly compared to anyone I can think of in Canada. Even the poorest in Canada can at least see a doctor when they really need it. I know many people who are about to lose their only option to healthcare if ACA is repelled. They'd be better off in Canada.
Some of them are truly shocking. My mind is consistently blown when I go because I don't get that remote more than a few times a year but they are unbelievable.
I still don't understand your comment. People who are thinking about emigrating because of Trump are thinking about Canada, New Zealand, Australia, etc., not a third world country.
Interesting, so basically a middle ground between the conventional length of blogs and microblogs. I wonder if that begs for a new way of organizing/producing medium-length contents of this sort.
I think that part of the advice is that the little things can be mixed in with more long-form content. Your blog doesn't need to necessarily be one or the other.
While the issue itself is worth discussing, I am unsure how much attention should be put on this particular series of illustrations. They are consist of mostly nothing but mere generalizations and biased criticisms. For example, the comparison between "glass heart" versus "normal heart" is just meaningless: http://shanghaiist.com/upload/2015/07/hk-china-illustration5...
I was in a similar situation about 8 months ago—You just have to pick up a pencil and go for it.
I had just finished college and found a great job. With all the free time I didn't have in school, I decided to buckle down and start taking art seriously (instead of doodling cartoon figures). I knew I need to start out by building a solid foundation, which meant that I have to really familiarize myself with the basics and maintain a daily habit of learning+practicing (even if my brain no longer wants to operate after 7-9 hour of work). That's what I have been doing in the past 8 months.
It takes quite a bit of self-discipline and sometimes it's just hard to get yourself to commit to it, but it the end it's all worthwhile. I have made (small) decent progress... It's a wonderful feeling, to know that you are able to confidently produce something that you would've not been able to do so several months ago. Here are some of my recent practice sketches: https://i.imgur.com/gtR8T2t.jpg
Proko has several tutorial series that I strongly recommend for beginners that are looking for somewhere to start: http://www.proko.com/
