    I would tell you why your baseless assumptions about my knowledge are wrong, and explaining to you the myriad justified reasons I have for hating the technology’s current deployments and stated functions, but that would mean spending another second talking to you than I absolutely had to, and I’ve just decided that life is too short. Instead, I’ll simply link you to this other comment where I did that, and then ignore your response because I don’t care. https://pawb.social/comment/23967322

    It’s extremely funny to me, though, that you don’t know what Midjourney is. Next you’re going to tell me you’ve never heard of an em dash.

      Oh, please stop with the holier-than-thou nonsense.

      Once again, that is not a straw man.

      A straw man is when I replace your argument with something else.

      So, if the argument is: “You cannot generate a completed 30-minute video with a simple prompt,” and you respond with, “Oh, so you think you just push a button and make a video?” that is a straw man. You have replaced my actual argument with an argument I never made.

      I didn’t make a straw man at any point. My argument has consistently been directed at what you actually said. I am so tired of every conversation devolving into me having to define what a straw man is.

      If you are unable to at least understand that and admit that you are wrong about your interpretation of what a straw man is, then how can I take anything else you say about AI seriously?

      And don’t misconstrue that as an ad hominem. I’m not dismissing your arguments about AI simply because I think you’re incapable of understanding them. I’m pointing out that this conversation has now devolved into me having to explain what a straw man is because you are repeatedly misidentifying one. If you cannot accurately identify the basic logical concept we’re currently arguing about, then I have legitimate reason to question whether you are accurately understanding the arguments you’re making about AI.

        I never said I thought you could generate a 30 minute video from a single prompt. Strawman. I don’t think that, and I don’t know where you got the idea that I think that, but I don’t care, because, again, I AM DONE ARGUING WITH YOU.

        Kindly fuck off.

          Yes correct. You never said that. But that is what this entire comment thread is about. I was bringing it back to the original context so we don’t drift off course to something irrelevant.

          Also you are correct. You did not accuse me of making a straw man you were saying that the material presented straw men which it very well may have. So I retract that statement. I apologize for the accusation. Everything gets a little muddled in the comments this far down it’s hard to keep track of everything.

          But very well. God day.
