I'm not just referring to you specifically here. I'm pointing out the general tone of people who come into these threads complaining about AI. It's practically never constructive, and it's always the same set of talking points that have been addressed many times here. It's worth noting the tone of your original comment though:

Yogthos is really relentless with all these AI posts. You’re not fighting for the poor defenseless AI technologies against the tyrannical masses with these posts.

You attack me for not editing the original title of the post claiming I was being antagonistic, yet you very clearly made a snide personal attack in your first comment. Then you pretend like you're the paragon of civility and I'm being unreasonable. Maybe get off your high horse, and reflect on the way you engage with people?

I'm not trying to portray myself as a paragon of civility, nor am I above making bad judgements. I do concede that that comment I made was poorly worded and needlessly antagonistic. I will not try to defend that.

I am not trying to debate or argue. I don't want any winners or losers or gotchas or whatever people seek from that. My whole aim was to express that there is frustration that is not unwarranted in these topics, and whether it's deemed to be fair or not, the initial invitation to a conversation is important in setting the ground for the conversations that follow.
