Personally, I liked “it’s always been the floor”. Feels real. I’ve certainly said/heard people say things like that in strained relationships. Perhaps “it’s always the floor” would have been better. Or “it always is”. Yes, that sounds right.
Yeah, hard for me to tease out what flinches in me come from a defensive posture with AI stuff vs. which are otherwise endogenous. Luckily for me, AI fic tends to cluster in my perception into two camps, one where the stuff I dislike is so overwhelming that it’s hard to imagine liking it, and one (like this one) where I occasionally go “hmm” but mostly feel gently impressed.
