When hammers were invented, people were like, “Cool! So much easier and faster than screwing! And even cheaper!”

And they threw away their screwdrivers and happily hammered their screws in, telling each other how much better things had become.

This is a story about AI.

    You’re not hoping anything, you’re just trying to look clever by pretending to be worried about phrasing no one actually misunderstood.

    Concern trolling / weaponized empathy - Pretending to care as a disguise for judgment or hostility.

      This is kinda sad, since I am genuinely worried that we’re relying on AI tools to assist with comprehending what I thought was pretty straightforward allegory.

      I phrased it the way I did in case it was actually ME that was getting trolled. Hopefully that’s all it is, and I’m just underestimating the depth of trolling here.
