Encountered a person on Mastodon who said Mastodon should be inclusive of "AI" users.

@mcc Lunatics are taking over. Smh

[landelare@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@dysfun @mcc Not the first time I see this brought up, sometimes even the deluxe mental gymnastics version: you're treating a lifeless machine in a way that could be considered offensive if it was a living person, but people can use machines, too, ergo you're transitively racist against real people! Checkmate/QED/etc.

[djgummikuh@mastodon.social]

@mcc That's inclusive in my book. That user can hang out with their AI buddies

[gmarcosanti@mastodon.uno]

@mcc if AI is really that good of a thing, please explain why Jesus never used or even mentioned it.

[mausmalone@mastodon.social]

@mcc this is the modern version of "I saw a bum who said 'I haven't had a bite in three days,' so I bit him."

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@mausmalone Also somebody responded to my post above with "well you might as well block me too" so I blocked him

[mausmalone@mastodon.social]

@mcc "what are you gonna do? Stab me?"

[maker_of_things@cupoftea.social]

@mcc
Same.

[qgustavor@urusai.social]

@mcc same!!!

[medusaskirt@mastodon.social]

@mcc as in people who use "AI" in some capacity, by some vague definition? Or did he mean literally gen-AI models posting like typical bot accounts but no person managing the model as much as a typical bot account might be?

@mausmalone

@MattMerk (me) enters the chat and stabs him, takes a short bow, and quickly exits.
