Why do people post the same trite thing that's been said a thousand times before, over and over again? It makes for boring conversation. "Birds don't have ailerons"? Is that supposed to be a smart retort? To what?
This site is supposed to be about curious conversation but sometimes it's like AI Tropes.
- williamcotton 3y agoBecause “artificial intelligence” doesn’t immediately mean “human intelligence” in the same manner that “artificial flight” doesn’t mean “bird flight”.
- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoYes, I understand, the meaning is blindingly obvious and everyone has heard the same thing a hundred times before, either with planes that don't fly, or submarines that don't swim, or cakes that don't cake, whatever. The point I'm making is that if you have something to say, don't resort to trite soundbites that only add noise and make the conversation more boring. You have an opinion, clearly, don't just repeat someone else's slogan. But note that's just, like, my opinion man. I'm not really trying to tell you what to do, just expressing frustration, to be clear.
- williamcotton 3y agoI don’t see you responding to the trite anti-AI rhetoric that is also not novel. What else would you expect from me in response to some babble about techno-capitalism or hype machines or blah blah blah. Tired comments get tired responses.
- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoThink of the guidelines: they say that a discussion should get more substantial, not less, as time goes by. If we all do what you say exactly the opposite will happen. It'd be like a cold flamewar of platitudes and boredom.
