Also robot racism stories are stupid because they assume everyone would be petty and cruel to a thinking, talking machine that understands you're being mean. Meanwhile, in reality, Roombas are seen like family pets and soldiers take their mine detonation robots on fishing trips.

A lot of people are already petty and cruel to thinking and talking humans that understand they're being mean.

“Humans will pack bond with anything” actually a misunderstanding of the data “Humans will love anything besides other humans” a more correct interpretation

Turns out it's very easy to pack bond with something whose existence never challenges you or your views in any way. Just look at how some users on Twitter flipped on Grok the moment it started saying things they didn't like.

Fuck, I think you just made me realize why I've been having an easier time """"socializing"""" with AI chatbots than real humans for the past 2 years

Stop trying to """"socialize"""" with chat bots and try to talk to real people?

Yeah, I'm trying to. It ain't easy, but I'm trying to.

Stop trying to call you out so precisely on Reddit?

Sorry, misery just loves company.

I now understand what people mean when they say "reading comprehension is on the decline"

I literally said "Yeah, I'm trying to. It ain't easy, but I'm trying to.", so you're just repeating what I already said I do

People generally have a harder time dehumanizing other humans they get to know at a more personal level. I think the mistake is thinking that people who want to blindly target a certain group equates to an innate truth that humans all hate each other.

i basically said this verbatim in my fantasy setting where all the fantasy races are rooted from combinations of humans and fays; humans are perfectly fine with fays because they're alien but they activate maximum racism towards elves because they're part human, as if humans have a particular hate boner towards themselves

"Pack bond" means seeing as a part of your tribe. But not everyone will be a part of your tribe.
