"No" as in: I wont answer your question which is trying to put me in some kind of "gotcha" situation, regardless of how fluent I am in AI concepts.
Edit (addendum): We both know that regardless of what my answer was: you already made up your mind and thought I was full of crap. Why ask that question at all if not to dunk on me in case I said yes or no?
Its only a gotcha question if you dont know what it is. I mean youre talking about something so authoritatively.
I was ready for a genuine conversation until 'Whats your point' which told me you weren't going to be open to a conversation. And im too tired for this shit.
I see we are on the same side on a lot of things overall and i dont want some fringe thing to be a point of contention. Hope to see you around. Keep it sleazy.
You have to be very aware that it's hard to gague your intent when posting. That's why emojis and tone tags were invented. The way you asked that rather specific question which I couldn't immediately connect to anything that was said (although it was obviously a technical term), made me cautious of someone trying to dunk on me. So I chose not to engage until you've made your intentions clear. Hence: "What's your point?"
I still think this is a legitimate reaction to a question whose connection to the conversation isn't straightforward.
I see no value in dunking on people but i wasnt memeing either, I had a direct question to ask, and i dont know what the appropriate emoji is. Additionally, emojis get read differently by different people recreating the same issues with text. Communication is hard i just choose to not assume people are here to dunk on me (at least on lemmy). I want (especially from more labor minded people) to not talk about AI in a callous "plagiarism machine" way. There are issues with it and its here to stay.
I mean you can check people post and comment history fairly easily and gauge how they interact.
