Why call it a plagiarism machine but not call other (pre-ai) programmers plagiarism machines?

Because it is a machine and a person is not. Those who don't understand or deny that difference are part of the problem.

But for those who would insist on equivalence, it would be only fair to take them at their word and treat them as inhuman machines who must follow human instructions or be shut down. We're allowed to do thing to machines we could never do to people, like forcing them to work or cannibalizing their parts for Frankenstein creations. The distinction is so massive that to spend any more time refuting its nonexistence is a waste of my human time.

  • Actually it's the people who disagree with me and not you who are machines that should be shut down. Sorry!
