I understand this kind of reply, which seems very common. With AI, people say, "That's just what we do!" --- and likewise: No. I've always really struggled with this category of reply, and I'm trying to figure out why. I think it's because I can sense that some ideological battle has been lost, that the person giving this reply has bought into the (charitably) "hype framing" that disingenuous advocates have set up. It's a very exhausting kind of reply, since it takes forever to reply to. You have to explain all the ways X isnt like Y. And to a person who has quickly adopted a pathological framing of the issue.
