The "fediverse isn't inclusive enough of AI" guy is still going on, and while I am wary of giving more attention to a catastrophically bad take, I also think it's an instructive example of AI boosterism and bad faith.
His original post, as doubled down on in two replies over the course of two days, used AI boosters as an example of a group that is supposedly unwelcome on the fediverse, but whenever he's called on that, he switches to "but I'm not defending AI."
It's useless to try and argue with him directly, I've watched several people try to politely point out why defending AI boosterism is a terrible thing to do. As someone prone to posting through it, I can recognize a multiday crash out when I see it, so like... I get it, dude's not listening to criticism at all. He's likely not in a good place to.
But it's also useless to argue against what is inherently a bad faith position directly with the person engaging in bad faith.
Nailed it.
(Please imagine I've inserted that GIF of the guy pointing up here.)
