“you're mean and we put so much work into an activity” is not a useful – or relevant – reply to a criticism, harsh or not, especially when you try to offer a policy document.

this is an incendiary topic, many thousands, if not more, people are already negatively affected by the technology, and dismissing their anger because it discomforts you is — not useful in the slightest.

This stance: "because I did something you cannot criticize" is really toxic, anywhere.

And god help us all if it was done for free. Immune to criticism and the bonus of people trying to shame you because you didn't have to pay for it.

@mawhrin currently dealing with variations of, "what if just a little LLM? I'll be very careful I promise."

One, no you won't or you wouldn't be using them in the first place.

Two, stop asking questions the policy has already adressed. I.e. "I'll do extra work to mitigate a strawman subset of the reasons listed" doesn't make your case look better, it makes it clear you ALSO have problems with respecting boundaries.

@mawhrin Psychologists have a name for this tactic - a favorite of Narcissists, BTW - "blame the victim"
