I like the metaphor where you deny someone's dietary/moral choices, essentially made them party to a grave sin in their eyes, rob them of their ability to consent, and then laugh at them when they're upset about it. It's really fucking telling.

I think you inverted the scenario. Otherwise you're suggesting there's some way that eating a veggie dog is a grave sin

I... swore it was the other way round. Either way, their metaphor isn't the same as the actual situation because most who don't like AI hate it on a moral ground (wasteful, egregious) rather than on a pure aesthetic one.
