  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

I'm not really pro or anti. I use it with appropriate skepticism for certain types of things. I can see how it is extremely problematic in various ways. I would prefer it didn't exist but it does provide utility and it's not going away. I find a lot of the anti crowd to often be kind of silly and childish in a similar way as the extremists in the pro crowd, you can tell they really want to believe what they believe and critical thinking doesn't seem to come into it much.

I mean yea, I'm not for it in the way "all uses are correct", but rather that it's a valid technology to use for some cases and I have a positive feeling towards it. Big companies replacing artists to make more profit sucks, for example
