It is in a sense a propaganda weapon. We can collectively choose to not use it and ostracize it but the nazis and fascists won't have the same qualms.

It's like choosing to use bows out of principle when the enemy has guns. Fun in a comic book, doesn't work so well in real life.

no you kind missed a bit. it's going to deplete our fresh water source AND it's programed however they want it.

There is quite a huge open source community which let's you fine tune it however you want.

I don't use it because it's an error-prone black box that also destroys the environment as a kicker.

'Fine-tuning' will not fix that.

Sadly, this is not an argument you are going to be able to win here. You are behaving rationally and are correct. Bringing rationality to an irrational circle jerk is a bad time.

The sad thing is, we agree with the irrational crowd in 90% of everything else. But if it's not 100%, that makes you the enemy in their eyes.

It's more like choosing to not use grenades that blow up when shaken even though the enemy is using them, simply because you know that, sure, sometimes it blows up when you want it to and has the correct effect, but more often it blows up in your own face.

We are talking about using ai to make memes? What is blowing up in our face in this scenario?

It really is. Which is why this propaganda is pushed on the left while the right embraces it.

It's one of the reasons I'm done with the left. They're dead in the water and have no idea what they're at anymore.

The entire movement has somehow regressed severely in my lifetime
