Just curious what people think about the other people who post AI stuff. I’ve seen a few in comments recently in other comms, and I just blocked the person posting, but I wonder if everyone just blocks them, new people reading them won’t get the social feedback not to do it? Maybe it is a better strategy to post a comment saying fuck AI instead to discourage these comments. What do you all think?
You’re ok with AI but not differing opinions. Great.
Block candidate shows themselves.
Yep, you’re definitely the type to miss the point completely, think AI is fine art, and stick your fingers in your ears because you have zero insight into anything and can’t express any opinions that haven’t been fed to you.
Wow, reading a lot in to my 4 word comment. I was more commenting on the fact that you called biggotry “differing opinions”.
You basically just said that you prefer racism to lazy content.
You just basically refused to activate your brain and think and instead just did exactly what bigots do- an irrational and disingenuous kneejerk reaction based on false premises. Great job, maybe you should hang out with the racists, you may find you have more in common than you think.
Not at all. Katy said that she only blocks bigots and that she ignores AI. Your response indicated that bigotry was merely a “differing opinion” and indicated that you believe that it isn’t as bad as ai with the sarcastic use of the word “great”.
“bigotry is defined as the state of feeling, or the act of expressing, strong, unreasonable beliefs or opinions. It is an uncountable noun that characterizes intolerant, stubborn, or prejudiced attitudes towards others, particularly concerning religion, race, or politics.”
So yes if you genuinely meant it when you said “You’re ok with AI but not differing opinions. Great.” Then yes using the Oxford definition you prefer racism/homophobia/transphobia to lazy content (as far as I’m aware the use of ai in comments is largely done because of laziness).
I’m not sure who pissed in your cornflakes, but try not to take it out on everyone else.
i’m not okay with ai; its just easier to ignore whereas bigoted and racist things i just don’t want to see.
I find a lot of the time when people say what you do, it’s really just about not wanting to have your opinions challenged, rather than actually dealing with bigots and racists. I have not once seen anything bigoted or racist on here, so far.
I mean, some opinions are bad. Having an opinion doesn’t inherently mean people are obligated to respect it.
Sure, but I find that where people draw that line is highly arbitrary and it easily spills over into “if you disagree with me then your opinion is bad and I refuse to hear it or even interact with you”. I have never seen anyone say blatantly racist shit on here- if I did I’d report them, because that’s not ok. What I have seen is a lot of people who simply have very specific ideas that they refuse to have challenged, be they political or even philosophical, that they group together with “bigots and racists”, in a disingenuous attempt to silence those who question their beliefs.
