My words:

This feels like don't buy at Walmart, support the local small shop. We passed the no return sign miles ago.

Gemini's:

This is like advocating for artisanal blacksmithing in the age of industrial steel. It sounds great in theory, but we passed the point of no return miles back.

Yeah, we can tell the difference :)

leave it to Gemini to dismiss artisanal craft when the community of discussion is primarily one of craftspeople :)

Unrolling a metaphor into its literal meaning is one of the most annoying features of the "AI voice", IMO
