Couldn’t wait more than 3 minutes for someone’s actual position before setting up that straw man to take down?

The actual position: "First, prove you're not an AI, and then we can discuss..." Yeah, no, I'll take myself being strangely prescient this morning.

The partial comment you’re quoting is

- not even a position

- not something you were remotely “prescient” about

Precisely. There is no need to wait for "the position" to be formulated since a) it won't be; b) it's mostly "AI is bad because, full stop" anyhow, not even a strawman.

> it's mostly "AI is bad because, full stop" anyhow

Ooh, the rare* double straw man. Since you look like you could use the exercise in intellectual honesty, I’ll pose the question directly: can you think of any reason that the ability for anyone to generate fake photographs indistinguishable from reality with no skill, time, or money required might make the world a worse place? Cause harm?
