So, if I say, there is a big and growing gap between those who recognize the benefits or potential of my poop machine and those who don't, and you say, wtf is this shit everywhere, I can just say, you doesn't engage with the substance of my post, and in fact exemplifies the very point my post is trying to make
Your crass comment might have a point if (a) there was no real or potential upside to AI, and (b) the original comment focused on the negative consequences of AI. But it doesn't; it's just an enumeration of grievances about negative trends in the world, most of which predate the emergence of AI, and/or are orthogonal to it.
The people who are optimistic about AI believe it can help to address or reverse these trends. It's fine to debate the merits of that belief, but the original comment wasn't trying to do anything like that.
It would be really cool if you guys enforced these rules uniformly.

I agree! But we can't, because there's way too much content for us to read it all, and we can't moderate what we don't see.
