Based on recent comments this feels like a discussion we should have. So..topic, basically.

I'm not looking to be chief noisemaker on this, but I stand by what I wrote in !privacy and what's in my post history.

Let's have at; do we want a [AI] and [NOT AI] tag. Why or why not?

I'm sorry, what? Did you just equate AI use to actual child slavery?

I don't even know how to begin to respond to that.

Your analogy is irrational and frankly disgusting. Blocked.

I'll still respond for the sake of anyone else reading this. What I used was an analogy. I'm pointing out that you were dismissing the potential for moral objections to the use of AI. That is not the same as equating, but you probably know that.

You, like, other AI boosters are unable to fathom that folks' moral objections are both truly held and legitimate so you feign ignorance and shut down any critique by simultaneously clutching pearls and claiming that the thing we find morally repugnant is "inevitable." Happy to avoid future interactions. ❤

Might want to stop using the slop machines and look up these words: metaphor, analogy, example

Sure. And while I'm doing that, you might like to google Poe's Law.

Edit: you know what - I over reacted there and I apologise. Child slavery is a hot topic button and my head went to a weird place. I'm not going to uncook the chicken by deleting my post but I will admit I probably read it wrong at 5AM.

I stand by my read that their post was deliberately inflammatory framing, but it probably wasn't intended as a "so, when did you stop beating your wife".
