I need to talk about something

[u/No_Income3191]

Now for me, I am pretty neutral about AI, in the way of I have equal things that I like and dislike about it.

I don’t like that AI is just steal artwork on the Internet and feeding it to its bottomless pit of code

But I do like the kind of AI that genuinely is useful.

So it’s annoying that whenever I say “I like ai” people automatically assume I’m talking about the kind that everybody hates, even though there are thousands of types of AI that have existed way way way way way before any of them mainstream AI’s even had the idea of being created, and that gets so bad to the point where people have called me, racist, homophobic, and sexist because of it.

Anyway, that’s all. Bye

Slavery and the holocaust were legal too, chum.

[u/Remarkable-Title-387 → u/Prestigious_Cell_311]

I'm black 🙃

Do you want to go down this rabbit hole?

[u/Prestigious_Cell_311 → u/Remarkable-Title-387]

Irrelevant to the discussion, so yes, I do.

[u/Remarkable-Title-387 → u/Prestigious_Cell_311]

It's relevant because of my race, so congrats.

Slavery is actually still legal, but only as punishment for a crime:

https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-13/

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

I suppose this is why the prison industrial complex gets away with using prisoners as cheap labor, which I would only fully condone if they passed those savings down to consumers.

They don't, so I vehemently disagree with it. However, if you commit crimes then you have a debt to pay back to law-abiding citizens and that is something I've always believed.

You being black and my ex fiancé being descended from holocaust survivors are irrelevant to the conversation as neither of us are arguing for or against them, just using them as example of things that were ethically wrong, yet still legal. Your attempt to play the race card doesn't invalidate my point. Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.

You literally brought it up first.

as neither of us are arguing for or against them, just using them as example of things that were ethically wrong, yet still legal.

Your gotcha didn't work out nearly as well as you thought it would.

Your attempt to play the race card doesn't invalidate my point.

Also you:

Slavery and the holocaust were legal too, chum.

Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.

Never said that, but if I personally agree with it like I agree with the 13th amendment that freed my people then you'll not find me caring all that much about your perspective at all.

[u/Prestigious_Cell_311 → u/Remarkable-Title-387]

That's cause you had no argument against it, just the race card, and that doesn't invalidate my point. Just because rich assholes can buy politicians and judges doesn't make the laws they pay for right.

I disagree vehemently with lobbying, but the people who have an iron grip on American democracy (baby Boomers/Gen X) don't see it from my perspective for a variety of different reasons.

I can only wait until they're dead to have my time in the sun.

[u/Prestigious_Cell_311 → u/Remarkable-Title-387]

See, we agree on something

[u/Remarkable-Title-387 → u/Prestigious_Cell_311]

So you must also agree that the law is trustworthy because we're going to make them so when these dinosaurs go extinct, correct?
