“just text” is a pretty fuzzy line, imo. having a conversation with it, having it write an essay for you, and using it to code are all just text most things that you can do with it in a pure text context are still either useless or something you could do yourself in a little bit more time
I think that college aged men tend to be less principled than women. Men often put each other down for “caring too much” and it can be seen as cringe sometimes, so I feel like there are social sanctions against having strong opinions. There’s a bit of an obsession with not caring to seem cool.
