i'm NOT prejudiced in any way, shape and form. i care deeply about equity, inclusivity and freedom. that said, i read the npr article that you linked, and i sincerely apologize for saying words that were used against ai, but were used for microaggressions.
i am against the idea of ai being used for profit and such which is why i asked that question. i sincerely hope you forgive me. oh and are there any words i should use against ai chatbots? i'm NOT even sure if i ask if i can say 'bleep-blorpie' for ai bots.
I didn’t link the article, but I’m glad to hear you’ve read it now.
To quote someone else in this thread:
You’ve frequently made claims about things you care about, or believe in, but your words come across as empty when you fail to understand or reflect on or understand how the things you say come across as racist (or Zionist).
Ok, great, but why did that need to be expressed using terms that are heavily tied to a history of racism and oppression? You can say it just like you did here and not equate a hatred of how AI is being used with a hatred of people.
I don’t know - what’s the origin of “bleep-blorpie”? Is it a permutation of some slur? Is it something that you will use in a way that is “pretend racist”? If so, seems like a bad idea to me.
i'm NOT sure who linked the article in the thread, i forgot. that said, thank you!
let me ask the question simply in different wording: "if ai continues to be used for kids' media and that leads to future generations NOT telling whether something is ai-generated or NOT, would these generations become more susceptible to supporting authoritarian or totalitarian forms of government (ie: fascism)?
They said virtue signaling because it’s the essence of what you’re doing - declaring that you express a set of viewpoints rather than actually demonstrating your belief in them through your words and actions.
I don’t personally see any reason to start another discussion with slightly different wording.
I don’t believe you need to apologize to me. If you need some acceptance of your apology, I give it, but I see that acceptance as meaningless, personally.
You’ve asked many times whether you should study more theory and I don’t think I’ve ever seen any variation in the answers. Perhaps instead of asking whether you should, just do.
