The argument the mod writes is 👌

Update : there’s a new one that appears but, I’ve checked, that’s the same mod as the others

Update 2 : got contacted by the mod, overall sweet guy/gal we agree to disagree and keep the ban up, who said that Lemmy cannot be civil

    I never trust taxi drivers who use an electronic map. Taxi drivers should know all of the streets by heart, and be able to accurately predict road congestion, like they did in the good old days. By using this evil navigation technology, their spatial awareness withers and it is just a shame.

      I mean, it is true that if you don’t use a GPS or an electronic map that you do develop a better awareness of your surroundings and the street mapping. Same way using a guide to something doesn’t let you really remember and commit to memory the task you’re doing.

      It’s just that AI exacerbates that tendency tenfold, because you don’t even have to follow a guide if the guide does it for you.

      knowing streets and predicting road congestion are not creative acts, that is they are not creating something

        Wow, okay. I mean I was being sarcastic with my comment, but now I kinda regret it. Way to cheapen another profession’s talents and trade.
