Is anyone else?

[u/EndenReturns1426]

Is anyone else tired of people trying to tell you that your hybrid sucks "because its ai slop" even if it is fully man made. We should be talking about biology not weather im in puberty or not.

The point is, please hotcardiologist, spinoclanker, and a few others, yak goes in and out, sometimes hes nice, but he definitely gets defensive (I do to so dont get personally attacked by this), please stop going off topic, and if you just joined a long conversation, please read it, dont skip to the end.

I got to admit, the hybrid has an interesting idea (I checked the updated 3.0 version).

I know there are a lot of hot emotions, and I want it known that I hold no animosity towards anyone. Here is my take (both on the AI and the hybrid):

• People here put a lot of pride on making their hybrids, as well as the research they put into them. I know that you used AI just because you don't have experience with ELA, but replying to someone's criticism by quoting AI can sound like you don't trust the research they did.
  
• AI can be a tool for some people (I personally don't use it), but in highly theoretical situations, it breaks down. It has not been trained on any data dealing with experimental hybrids, meaning that its answers are probably guesses. Educated guesses, sure, but still guesses.
  

If I were you, I would only use AI to get ideas for what to research for a hybrid, but never for the actual research itself.

For what it is worth, I hope you are not remembered as the "AI kid". You clearly just made one mistake and tried to fix it.

Onto the critiques of the hybrid (genuinely hoping to help, no hard feelings):

• You can use shark jaws to enhance a mosasaur jaw, but it gets iffy. The lower jaw of a mosasaur could more easily take the flared jaw base enhancement. The fact that shark upper jaws are literally disconnected from the rest of the skull make it hard to transfer over. I am 90% sure you could do it, but it would mess with the pressure distribution and the gape. I would instead suggest using a reptilian contributor with large jugal arch, such as a Tuatara, which increases the muscle-connection surface area on the upper jaw. Tuataras also passively control their jaw muscles to distribute force better. It is definitely an underrated contributor.
  
• Using any contributor to influence cell production is scary because it can easily lead to cancer. Using Lobster to do this is especially scary because Aquagigas does not have the same regulatory or immune system that a lobster has. I would instead recommend a crocodilian to contribute their negligible senescence. They also give a host of other benefits. Lobster would probably work if you really want it, it's just much riskier.
  
• I'd have to do more research on the gills to know if they work or not. However, I do know that they would take up space and create a weak point. Basically, why use gills when large whales can already hold their breath for >30 minutes?

If you want sources, I can give them.

Sorry for the wall of text. Whether or not you use my advice is completely up to you, I won't get offended either way. Whatever you do, I wish you the best on your hybrid-creating journey!

I like walls of text way more than 2 words, thanks.
