it's highly ironic that the "AI" evangelists constantly repeat that people who hate it are out of touch. they're implying that people don't like it because they don't understand it, when my experience has been people who hate "AI" seem to have a far firmer grasp on how it actually works than the evangelists

My own direct experience with this phenomenon:

And yes, their apparent lack of ability to parse hostility is something I've experienced more than once, too. (Also yes, I blocked this guy.)
Also of note with this case: I'm pretty sure a machine that churns up highly probable results is the wrong tool for finding a *rare* word in the first place.
When *I'm* stumped on a couple of words, the big Roget's I have is *also* not yielding fruit, and I've had two people actually suggest trying to dig through *other languages* for the words I need *despite* the fact that this is about writing game rules in English... you know it's bad. #English #Linguistics #GameDesign
