No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

you’re not going to get anywhere with these people.
i’m fairly certain most people are much too threatened on a fundamental level by these technologies to be rational about it. we can sit here throwing data and studies at them if we want, showing they are objectively wrong but it won’t do anything effectual.
the way i see people like this discussing the technology reminds me a lot of schoolyard behavior. the feelings it inspires in them are too much to discretely express so we get obviously incorrect quips and jabs instead of thoughtful discussion, to the roar of the crowd
If you think I am threatened by technology, you are barking up the wrong tree.
And if you think I don't understand what AI is and what the flaws in it are, you are also barking up the wrong tree.
If you think I am some 60 year old man shouting at clouds who just wants to live in a cave with a firepit then you are barking at an entire forest.
I hear ya, but I can't stop. I believe this change is significant and I don't want to see them blindsided by their inability to see it today. One day imt he not so distant future, they won't be able to avoid it and better that they are armed with some information for the day they can no longer avoid it.
