    Maybe your position would be better served by not lashing out at people as if they’re your enemy.

    Multiple things can be true at the same time. Statements about the technical capability of a technology don’t detract from the negative impacts on the world. Those are two different topics.

    Fossil fuels have incredibly massive, civilization-scale problems that are actively harming the modern world AND ALSO have enabled industrialization, pulling billions out of poverty.

    AI is objectively capable at some tasks AND ALSO is being used to disrupt the labor market and causing other harmful effects in society.

    The world isn’t black and white

      Black and white, no, but things can be evaluated on their net impact. And in that evaluation, AI is shit.

        I understand the arguments, today isn’t my first day on the Internets.

        The comment that was responded to was in a conversation talking about the technical capabilities and how it doesn’t matter what the truth is on that topic because some people don’t want to hear it because they only can view AI in a 2-diminsional, black or white, net good or net bad way.

        Then you showed up like a caricature of the type of irrationality that they were discussing.

        I even explained the, very obvious, context that you breezed right passed and yet you’re still grinding that same talking point without a moment of self reflection.
