@rootwyrm @davidgerard A bit of a tangent, but the idea that "mastodon is hostile to AI" as though that's some odd thing when polls show the public is overwhelmingly hostile to AI leads these bros to question Mastodon/fedi and what needs to happen to change that sentiment, vs them asking the real question: Why do other social networks not demonstrate the hostility to AI that masto/fedi do given that the latter seems to align with public sentiment?

Ie: the complaint is the lack of manipulation.

@reflex

I'm guessing part of the problem is that you really believe "the public is overwhelmingly hostile to AI" to be true?

It's difficult to ask, for example, public European institutions to consider Mastodon when having read the comments to this post by Mozilla:

@rootwyrm @davidgerard

@troed @reflex @davidgerard yes. Because, surprisingly, people hate it when they can't trust information, can't trust videos, can't get through phone systems, have systems that no longer function, and the list goes on.

So your entire argument is because people were mean to a shitty organization pushing shitty software that has made the experience objectively worse, everyone is wrong?

@rootwyrm

Your posts proves all the points that need to be proven here.
