As youse guys pointed out, it’s an imperfect analogy, but the Rubicon has been crossed. The cat is out of the bag. The genie is out of the bottle. The horses have left the barn. The die is cast. Alea iacta est. Ain’t gonna put the candy back in the piñata. We’ll just have to see what happens.

You're really trying to normalize it hard... But the reality is it's maybe true in some specific niche communities and bubbles. any given time in history different weird things were normal in small communities and bubbles. and time absolutely did not make those things "normal"

  > You're really trying to normalize it hard That's an ... interesting ... interpretation. All I'm saying, is that "it is what it is." Regardless of what we think of it, it's coming. It's likely that no one actually knows what things will look like; just a few years down the road. The only surety that we have, is that it's coming; whether or not we believe in it. Acceptance is the last -but most important- stage.

    and it is how? you replied to satire/dystopian fiction. it is by definition not what it is. and it doesn't have to be. by saying oh it's inevitable believe me, "the only surety that we have" (casually inserting we like everyone is the same on that) etc. you are trying to normalize it, painting anyone not on board as not part of "us", outcast, old fashioned and anti progress. often when people do this sort of attempt at manipulation they have vested interest. because if public opinion shifts sufficiently anti chatbots etc, which it is doing currently, and the government responds like a democracy would (or people take matters into their own hands), they lose actual money.
