- joshred 1mo agoWhat's passive about it?
- rfrey 1mo agoFurthermore, what's aggressive about it?
- throwaway98797 1mo agodon’t use ai when you write emails to me. that’s direct and aggressive. framing it as advice is the passive part.

- jeltz 1mo agoYeah, I have started ignoring AI generated stuff.
- variaga 1mo agoDirectly telling someone that you have a problem with something they did and why you think it's a problem is not "passive aggressive" by any stretch of the definition.
- setgree 1mo agoWhat I wrote was neither passive nor aggressive. My telling you now that I think your response was ill-considered is also not passive aggressive, though it's arguably aggressive.
- throwaway98797 1mo agothis maybe a me issue any kind of softness in language like “i’ll-considered” sounds so sterile that i sense hatred underneath. too much time in big companies. more sharing a crazy person take on how different words can be interpreted counter to the intent.

- setgree 1mo agoI do not hate you :) I think you will probably have more positive interactions on the internet if you choose a different register to communicate in but I promise I do not actually care
- throwaway98797 1mo agoha! i like the negativity since the anonymous thing frees me to be me i hate being civil!

- DenisM 1mo agoWhats the worst that could happen if you read GP’s words in a positive bias? Best case you learn something, made a friend, amd trained yourself to look for useful feedback in the future. Worst case you improved your mood and moved on. You’re in the prison of your own devise, the negative bias.
- wpietri 1mo agoNatural selection is demonstrably not working. It only takes one look at a newspaper to see that thoughtlessness and stupidity are doing better than ever. I think the internet is pretty great, but it's a major factor in that rise in at least 3 ways: * Previously, an important check on fools was social consequences. Now they have an endless supply of people to bother. Spammers were the first to exploit that, but now it's endemic. * Algorithmic weighting toward the reaction-generating (versus, say thoughtful, measured, responsible, accurate, helpful, kind) has rewarded idiocy and awfulness with attention and money. We're all now living in a reality TV show. * As those behaviors become a major percentage of what people, especially young people, see, they become normalized. Otherwise people think being a thoughtless jackass is just how to get by in the world. We are strongly in need of firm politeness, of militant decency. Without it, things will get "naturally" worse.
- Alien1Being 1mo agoMindlessly calling things passive aggressive, is nearly as bad as pasting AI slop. Start working on your language skills. And yes, this comment is passive aggressive. See the difference?
- stronglikedan 1mo agooh, the irony!
- geysersam 1mo agoWhy is it passive aggressive?
- throwaway98797 1mo agowhen people write me ai slop. i either ignore. or if i trust them i just say “don’t use ai slop”. anything softer is passive and morally judgy too. i’m not here to tell them what’s globally right, only how i want them to interact with me.
- Sardtok 1mo agoIgnoring them is more passive aggressive than the answer he gave.
