Sure, I get where you're coming from, and I'm not even positive I disagree with your underlying stance. I do think "getting out of some speeding tickets" is pretty tame on the list of heinous crimes one could appear to condone. The OP is clearly citing wild stories their dad has told them about escaping one's (his?) past and then putting forth their own lament for the erosion of anonymity and deniability. The fact is, the original poster wrote: > I hope more of this AI stuff takes off and we get some of that deniability anonymity back. I truly do think the Internet was an awesome landscape when people could express themselves openly and feel they were truly anonymous. which you paraphrased as: > "I'm glad I'm able to create a more believable fake identity online so I can commit crimes and not get busted!" and > "I want to be able to create a fake identity online... in order to evade the law while I commit crimes, or escape the law after my past crimes." which is clearly a hyperbolic extension of the original argument. Also, the only person I see literally ascribing this intent to the OP is you, so I can only assume you are arguing in bad faith.
