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

@eniko We live in a culture(s) where the science behind things is indistinguishable from magic for most people. (Didn't Asimov or somebody say that?) AI is a tool, nothing more. Humans invest emotion and, in some cases, life into their tools. It's a human thing to do. It's like giving your automobile a name. Some people can and will embrace AI as a tool. Some people can and will not. That's human nature. Engaging honestly and civily over its uses is worthwhile. To argue & fight about it is not.

@eniko Furthermore, and admittedly, fighting about things is human, too.
