      alright

      “Spanish or Dominican or whatever.”

      nothing like this or that can be paraphrased to this appears in the article

      Ok… How was that in any way relevant to a story about a different friend sending you an AI birthday greeting?

      robert is describing how he, as a Blind author, experienced both his best birthday message and his worst one. he illustrated why he thought his Dominican friend’s message was beautiful and contrasted it with his other friend’s utterly thoughtless AI-generated message, which that friend sent even though they knew Robert’s views on AI

      none of this is particularly objectionable unless you’re a big AI fan or you dislike interracial affection and you’re reaching for a problem to have with, as I mentioned, a Blind author affectionately describing his friend’s voice

      just by reading this comment thread as-is, and searching up one single word, should be all you need to become less confused
