    I’m sorry that you seem to have given up on people. I still think discussing things is worthwhile but from your text I get the impression that you don’t believe in social discourse.

    I think it’s a fact that people learn through and with language and that the symbols we humans use are what constructs our reality. So it’s very important what kind of language we use, how we use it and to be precise in our terms and vocabulary.

    People are not readymade, everybody has to learn and learning never stops and people are not all on the same level. So no: not everyone knows the same, as you seem to assume.

      I absolutely do, I’m just tired of this being posted every time someone says an AI is doing a thing, it’s overplayed, social discourse is obviously valuable, this just isn’t a valuable point to make.

      People also wouldn’t do this if I said my slow computer was “thinking”.
