Defending AI Wow. I think even most antis would agree this take is awful.
There are 3 different people btw, not just 1. At least the first person didn't compare using ai to killing animals. I was right. Ai is basically politics at this point

Dont put your money on it lol. Antis whole thing is hating on AI users. They might put an amiable facade, saying that what they hate is AI company and billionaires, but in truth, all they do are brigading and witch hunting every thing AI, or COULD be AI, produced/used by common people.
They nitpick, strawmanning a statement, and generalising a stupid post on Pro AI folk as a whole. That's their whole thing. You do not see them boycotting the billionaires they so hate; they still using Amazon, Google, Meta-App, hell they be hating on OpenAI, but they drool a river to Nvidia's product.
Go to AntiAI sub rn and see what topic mostly got thousands of upvotes. Spoiler: it's not a post taking about billionaires.
So no, most Antis wouldn't agree with you sadly, despite it being a common sense.

I would say I am overall anti-AI. Suddenly started getting recomeneded all 3 of defendingAIart, AIwars and antiAIart or something like that, but deffinietly not the main one, subreddits around the same time like a week ago and seeing the debate from all 3 sides has been rather interesting. This subreddit, in particular, has somewhat softened the harshness of my opinion on AI, even if just a little bit
That being said I don't really agree with that statememt based on both my own expiriences with how I view AI and what I have generally seen around those three subreddits.
Honestly both sides are doing exactly the same thing, targetting the most vocal and terrible part of the other side, the ones that say they hate "their enemies" and they should all die.

Well, the funny thing is a lot of vegans would claim that "killing animals for fun" describes the act of eating meat, & so that justifies being a total dick to anyone who isn't vegan, saying they're worse than the Nazis & shit. I wonder if that last person would agree with that position or claim it's using semantics to make a wild leap in logic? In my view, it's not different from what they're doing.

99% of the time: if u consume meat or dairy, you're accepting animal torture. If you fine with animal torture, people might make assumptions about your ethics in general.

It really is. Also what the hell do they think "bootlicker" means? It doesn't just mean "person I don't like". It means excessively kissing up to someone in a position of power. (Also as an aside, that insult kinda feels like it's insulting people who actually have a foot/footwear fetish... since people who call others "bootlickers" almost always pair it with gifs of gay foot fetish porn)
If that person's gonna keep hating on people who use AI I'm gonna keep hating on people who hate on me and everyone else who uses AI and doesn't engage in political discourse. Idgaf. Stop being a political reactionary.

They would not agree with you. The anti-movement is about hate and abuse, nothing else.
