Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

Are you serious right now? What?
I know how it sounds. I am half serious though. If androids are to be in the future, people denying them rights will use this exact set of arguments. The stubbornness over a small set of ill-understood premises also resembles transphobia quite a lot. So yes, under a certain perspective, the belief structure of Lemmy's anti-ai sentiment does resemble some form of bigotries.
The difference here that makes this comparison tenuous and potentially hurtful is that victims of bigotry are victims of structurally enforced power imbalances, AI itself IS a structurally enforced power imbalance.
Theoretically you are right in your point, but in practice you sound like asshole.
I don't disagree. But since you decide to cut short the discussion by calling me:
I don't feel particularly obliged to word how this also stands true. I never said sth to the effect you seem to be projecting here. In fact, I enjoy the notion that "AI is fascism". But at the same time, I think that those parroting the statistical more likely response for an ML user have the exact brain structure I see daily in bigots.
Congratulations on curtailing a possibly interesting discussion because my idea was shocking for your synapse.
Then don't make casual comparisons to extremely serious topics like bigotry without thinking it through first.
Are you threatening to dox me simply because I said you sounded like an asshole?
sounds like your hunch was right
