    I remember when my first was born. 2 different parts of my brain had opposing thoughts.

    1 part was thinking “This is the cutest, most beautiful thing ever. I must protect and nurture them at all costs.”

    The other part was thinking “My god newborn babies are ugly!”

    I can easily see cognitive dissonance pushes most people to the first thought. It’s you being hacked by hormones, an effect that is disturbingly powerful.

    I was also caught out by how much my (male) hormones were affected, even pre birth. It both disturbed and amused my wife.

      Sister said once that “they kinda look like a potato thing”. My other sister with her then half a year old didn’t like hearing that.

      Now the potato thing got cute.

        Based on the other comments from this account I guess you’re a human. Then why did you post an AI overview of the two terms that is verbose and uses a partly circular definition?

        If you’re trying to say that they should have used the other you can say that with your own words that are likely more concise and fitting to the topic at hand.

            And so instead of looking at search results you looked at the section written by an AI, that is wrong so often that people regularly make fun of it, and then didn’t even bother to check whether it was correct/made sense or include context for why the result of the (unknown) search terms was necessary.

            I personally would argue that Wikipedia or a dictionary are more likely to be correct in most cases but I don’t even know what you were looking for.

            I’m just confused why you or anybody else would want that AI overview pasted here. Is it secretly just to annoy everybody and get exactly this kind of attention?

              didn’t even bother to check whether it was correct

              Unless you can tell me how it was incorrect, your response is performative and attention-whoring.

                Well I can’t anymore for obvious reasons but I believe the contradiction was the circular definition of one of the terms.

                  Well, the top-level commenter fixed their comment, so mine served its purpose, despite this alleged “circular definition.” Maybe next time take a step back and appreciate that not everyone has to use the same resources and methods you do.
