      Vehemently pro AI: You’re an idiot/luddite/snailcat if you don’t use AI for everything

      Vehemently anti-AI: You’re an idiot/thief/anti-art if you use AI at all in any capacity

      Nuanced middle ground hated by both: Some AI use is OK, vibing a whole game probably isn’t.

        Mhm. Cann you succinctly explain what you think horseshoe theory is? Otherwise this just reads as enlightened centrism tbh.

          Only an extremist would think that non-extreme position is centralism. You’re already arguing from a position of bad faith. You refuse to accept the possibility that any use of AI can be ethical. Now that’s your choice, but you can’t really expect that to become the majority viewpoint.

            Murdering children is always bad!

            Murdering children is always good!

            Me, an enlightened centrist: well those are extremist positions and argued in bad faith. Clearly murdering children is sometimes good, actually.

              Well of course it depends on the child.

              For example if we’d known you were going to grow up to be a disingenuous pillock we could have spared the food resources to raise you.

              An actual example of why you have no point by the way.

              Centralism isn’t the midpoint between two positions it’s the recognition that two sides can have valid argument but it is almost never the midpoint.

                Always fun when a british person decides who should get food and who shouldn’t. Keep up the tradition! :)

                Centralism is ignoring blatantly immoral practices because they are convenient for you. Murdering children is clearly wrong, no matter what. Profitting from the stolen labor of others is clearly wrong, no matter what and that is what LLMs do.

                  I cannot decide if you’re actually that stupid or you’re doing it for a bit.

                Centralism isn’t the midpoint between two positions it’s the recognition that two sides can have valid argument

                This is the crux of it.

                I hold a lot of left wing values, I hold some right wing values, on the balance, I’m centre-left. That does not and has never meant I support the mid or even the mid-left point of a particular argument. It has always been the balance of your views.
