    Reading this thread, I wonder if the term is intended to divide a largely environmentalist opposition.

    Makes “nocoiner” seem tame by comparison.

      There’s a huge push right now to salvage the AI hype bubble as people realize the tech can’t live up to the promises. They are also trying to prevent regulation.

      This includes the pushes to humanize the tool, like saying it deserves rights or that there may be some kind of racism against the tool.

        Wait, who’s saying this?!

        They’re trying to pretend it’s real AI rather than extremely complicated text prediction. Hell, the less knowledgeable among them might even believe it. LLMs are a sort of language pareidolia.

          What’s weird is that the people who run the fucking companies apparently believe this. Or they’re trying to convince us that they believe this.
